  I will add an option

  So when available in one of the next nightly builds of 1.1.0, you might try it out:
  somewhere at the beginning of a script session simply say
  Settings.OverwriteImages = true
  
  and on recapture the images will be overwritten without notice (since
  you know, what you are doing).

  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  ***************** current implementation and usage

  Is implemented, but not yet added as a selectable option.

  Currently one has 3 possibilities:

  -- 1. a hack
  When having the IDE open, just add an untitled/new tab, that only contains

  Settings.OverwriteImages = True

  and run it once.
  From now on until you close the IDE you will have overwrite-images active
  This would have to be repeated after every IDE startup.

  -- 2. options file - longterm solution
  this is not yet documented.
  as mentioned in the docs
  http://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.org/en/latest/basicinfo.html#sikulix-system-specifics 
  SikuliX 1.1.0+ now uses a data store area, that contains a folder (create it, if it does not exist)
  SikulixStore

  In this folder put a file named
  SikulixOptions.txt

  that contains this line
  Settings.OverwriteImages on

  This file is read on startup and interpreted according to the rules of
  a Java Preferences file.

  -- 3. implicit image naming using imagename =
  If you write into a scriptline only this:
  imagename = 

  and then press capture button still having the cursor in that line, then after capture you will have
  imagename = "imagename.png"

  this option always overwrites the image without asking.
  Depending on how you have setup your script and usually work with naming, this might be interesting for you, since it is an easy way to name an image along a naming concept and have variables for the images all in one step.

  One more thing:
  if an image name starts with an _ then it will never be deleted by the cleanup function on save.
  This is for situations, where you store captured stuff or other image files in the bundle, that are not mentioned anywhere in the script text.
