MATPROPS Publish tool add-in ignore existing files?

Is anyone using the Matprops Publish add-in to export Inventor flat patterns to dxf or dwg?  It appears this would work well for us but there are occasions where we will modify the exported dwg file and I don't want that file to be written over when the next mass dwg export takes place.  Is there a way to ignore existing files?

 

Thanks in advance.

You need an option to keep the files from an earlier export? 

As programmer of this tool I can help of course. 
please describe your workflow.

Hello @w.pepping, we re-use many components between designs and on occasion will have to make a manual change to the exported dwg file (we use dwg files to use on our plasma cut tables which use ProNest).  I don't want these manual changes overwritten.  So, if a file exists already in the assigned location, I don't want it to be overwritten.

 

I imagine a global selection button to allow these files to be over written or ignored.  Does that make sense?

 

Great tool, thanks for the response!
