Overwrite file notification requested #64

Closed stevendholden closed 6 years ago

stevendholden commented 6 years ago

I was doing some experimenting and I realized that if I didn't change the name of the file of a previous recording it would just get automatically re-written and I'd loose the previous recording.

If this happens to others (not an isolated problem on my system) then I'd recommend a notificiation to the user (are you sure you want to overwrite? no = let's you change file, yes = overwrite).

Thanks!

You could leave it empty. In this way, the file name will be the current time and date.

But yea, it should ask a confirmation if a file exists with same name.

We could also just clear the entry box when a recording is stopped. Yeah confirmation would be nice, might work on this week if I have time :)
