Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.youtube-dl-gui does not warn against duplicates, it only creates a duplicate with a slightly different filename.
Describe the solution you'd like
Display that this file is already in the history, or better yet, in the folder. The minimal solution would be to ask if you would like to re-download the video/overwrite the previous file or cancel the operation.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative is to use a file explorer to deal with duplicates, which is an issue become you can quickly wear of your storage hardware and use more data of your data plan.
+1! It would awesome if there was an option to skip or overwrite existing files. Would be super useful for updating my already-downloaded playlists ^_^
