Screenshot overwrites existing files

This is hrev30234.

Screenshot overwrites existing files silently. There should be an alert like Tracker pops up.

I will take care of this issue this evening.

Thanks Philippe[[BR]] I was just wondering... Is it very difficult to use Tracker functionality to deal with colliding filenames? I mean that in a more general way, concerning any app saving something.

Tracker has its own dialog when it encounters a file already exists. At the moment it only promts with file infos like size and date of the new and to-be-overwritten files. Maybe in the future that will become more sophisticated, like optionally showing differing contents side by side or the two images in case of pictures. Or allowing on-the-fly renaming or proposing a naming scheme in case you're moving a whole bunch of colliding files.

If apps were using Tracker functionality, these improvements in handling files would be handed down to them.

In any case, Screenshot doesn't overwrite silently any more, so this ticket can be closed (I can't do that).
