GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 152860
Save mode needs overwrite confirmation
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:17:01 UTC
Right now, apps have to implement their own stuff to check whether a file exists and whether the user wants to overwrite it. We could default to presenting such confirmation in SAVE/CREATE_FOLDER mode, and have a way to disable it for apps that need exotic stuff. The default would ideally be to present automatic confirmation, although existing apps would have to turn it *off* so that their dialogs keep working, or modify their code not to do their own confirmation.
