Hi, I was thinking about this some more, and it seems to me that we should do something like the following before trying to actually save the file or do anything else:
1. If the save name is the same as the capture file name, put up a dialog box and dissallow it as we do for one case currently. This should be for all cases, even for a temp file, because some LUSER might have patiently typed in the temp capture file name. 2. If that passes, then lstat (or whatever it is under Win32) the file to see if it exists, and if so, pop up a dialog box asking if the user really knows what they are doing. Only after these two have been checked should do the normal stuff. However, it is likely that there are other places where the user wants to save things where it might be appropriate to check is they know they are overwriting files.
