Export to Markdown and replace existing files in the exported folder instead of creating copies?

Features

Say I have the following notes in Joplin:

Notes/
|   About
└───Blog/
|   |   A Blog Post
|   |   Another Post

And say I have a folder called exported_notes/ that already contains the above notes exported as Markdown:

Notes/
|   About.md
└───Blog/
|   |   A Blog Post.md
|   |   Another Post.md

Right now, if I export the notes again, the exported_notes/ folder will end up containing a duplicate .md file for every note:

Notes/
|   About.md
|   About(1).md
└───Blog/
|   |   A Blog Post.md
|   |   A Blog Post(1).md
|   |   Another Post.md
|   |   Another Post(1).md

Is it possible TO REPLACE existing exported Markdown files? Maybe it could be a setting? [ ] Replace existing exported notes in the target directory?

I created a reactive static website builder that reacts to exported notes from Joplin immediately, but the duplicates are kind of breaking the concept. Because I have to delete the content folder every time I want to export the notes again.
