[Standalone app] Ask before overwriting a existing file #122

Currently, when the standalone app is told to render, and there is a pre-existing file with the same name, the app overwrites without asking the user.

I think this should be changed, as most other software asks the user if they want to overwrite a pre-existing file, this prevents accidental destruction of data.

I do most of my testing on Linux, where the file dialog does this already. Does it not do this on Windows?

If not, I'll need to figure out which platforms do and do not ask for confirmation. It would be very annoying to be asked "are you sure"? twice in a row.

There should probably be a button (on by default) that prevents or allows overwriting.

Sorry for such a late reply, No, On windows, it just overwrites without asking.
