           Summary: Verify if the user user will override a file
           Product: kio
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)

When using KFileDialog to get a save url or file, if the user select an existing file the save dialog don't show a confirmation message to ask me if I want to overwrite the existing file or not.

Perhapse I haven't searched enouth (because it's strange KDE doesn't provide such parameter), but I haven't found any parameter to ask confirmation.

So, it's what I do:

    KURL url;
    bool tryAgain = true;
    while (tryAgain)
    {
        url = KFileDialog::getSaveURL();

        if (url.isEmpty())
        {
            tryAgain = false;
        }

        if (!KIO::NetAccess::exists(url, true, this) ||
            KMessageBox::warningYesNo(this, "<qt>" + i18n("The file <strong>%1</strong> already exists. Do you wish to overwrite it?").arg(url.prettyURL()) + "</qt>", i18n("File Exists")) == KMessageBox::Yes)
        {
            tryAgain = false;
        }
    }

Very heavy to do this, and the message can to not be the same as in other applications.
Can this feature be integrated into the dialogs?
At least as an optional parameter.
It will allow to have consistent messages, and it will allow programers to not reinvent the wheel.
