Using an existing case output folder by accident makes the case unfinished #2041

Just a very minor detail that I noticed a long time ago. If the case output folder (-o parameter) is set to an existing case by mistake, the processing is aborted and an error message ("Processing Error: Directory already exists") is shown, which is the correct expected behavior. However, the existing case "finished mark" is reset, so the next time it is opened, a warning message is shown ("Processing didn't finish successfully. Many case items could be missing, including allocated."). This doesn't seem to be the intended behavior, right?

No, thanks @wladimirleite for catching this!
