Description Alvin Wong 2022-07-23 11:10:22 UTC 
SUMMARY

When rendering animation without changing the video location, if the target file already exists, it will be overwritten without warning.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Successfully render animation to a GIF file (video).
2. Without changing the video location, render the same animation again.

OBSERVED RESULT

Krita does not prompt before overwriting the GIF file.

EXPECTED RESULT

Krita should prompt for confirmation before overwriting the GIF file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested with nightly 44e3597339

Um, isn't this debatable? I guess that many people will constantly render out their project and then having to confirm the overwrite is annoying. (Though we do this with save as.)
Comment 2 Eoin O'Neill 2022-08-04 00:19:58 UTC 
I'm not 100% convinced that users will want to confirm exporting every time a user wants to save a gif either.

However, I think that if we ask about overwriting frame sequences, we might be able to do both in a single prompt when it's a valid thing to do.
Comment 3 Dmitry Kazakov 2024-07-23 11:47:25 UTC 
Well, we *do* ask about overwriting temporary frame files. So I guess we should also ask about overwriting the final file. We can actually have an option to opt it out in the Preferences->General->File.
