Description David Carlson 2015-12-31 08:07:18 UTC 
When saving "as" to a different directory that already contains a file with the same filename, there is no warning about overwriting an existing file.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Once that release is available, you may want to check for a software upgrade provided by your Linux distribution.
