dup or addition to 1959?

addition, since 0001959 only mentions PDF export explicitly.

Also different code altogether for PS and PDF.

We need to add a very good tooltip to this option to explain the effect.

In order to get a really correct implementation of this feature i'd like to
start a little discussion about it.

Some questions come to my mind:

a) Should overprint mode be a global option for the whole file?
b) Or should it be object related?
c) Or should it be colour related (e.g a light green is always overprinted)

After some more testing i'm the opinion that overprint mode should be object dependend. Gives more flexibility for designers i think.

Object dependent overprinting is implemented by most other comparable apps. However, I think an additional global option would also be fine.

Yeah, from what I can remember it has always been per-object.

On the ink would not be a bad idea too.

Have implemented now an object dependend setting which can be overridden in the print and pdf export dialogs.
