Description Matthias Urlichs 2006-08-26 06:33:34 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When exporting a vcard, if the file already exists, Evolution (Gnome, actually) asks whether to overwrite the file, but Evolution then displays a "file exists" error.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select a contact. "Save contact as VCard...".
2. Type the name of an existing file.
3. Confirm that you want to overwrite it.


Actual results:
4. View the pretty error message (or not).

Expected results:
The file is overwritten.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

confirming, evolution 2.7.92. i also get a "error - file exists" message.
Comment 2 Srinivasa Ragavan 2006-08-27 11:57:39 UTC 
Fixed. It could fix few other dupes too (A generic fix for writing files).
