Original .bin file destructively overwritten

[dbedrenko]

I don't pass the -i option, and yet my original files get overwritten without my permission; it's bad program etiquette because I can't get the file back. This is not documented behaviour and really there's no reason it should be overwriting the .bin instead of just creating a new .iso file.

Maybe bin2iso is so fast because it rewrites only certain chunks in some file? In this case either overwriting the original .bin should not be the default (have an option --inplace that enables this behaviour) or the user should be given some confirmation question asking if the file may be overwritten.
