The GUI doesn't allow you to delete files, so there is no equivalent for --conflict override at this point. You have to delete the existing file first if you want to move a new file it it's place.

Alternatively you might want to consider using a format that gives you unique paths for unique files (e.g. by using mediainfo bindings like {vf} or {resolution} in your format).

The latest revision has an improved GUI for conflict handling that'll allow you to delete existing files you want to replace.
