           Summary: save dialog: allow overwrite checkbox and keep  source
                    file name /allow change radio buttons
           Product: kfile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alpeterson at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)

See attachments that will be coming.

Basically, If I am downloading something, I expect the computer to remember the
name it came from.  (I personally always want to choose where to put my
downloads) and I don't want it to change.  

Occasionally, I want to bump up a revision number and save the file with a new
name.  I don't ever want to be confused if this is going to happen or not.

I also really really hate dialogue boxes.

Basically I propose that we add:
[ ] allow overwrite (checkbox, still will give confirm dialog by default but
configurabe)
( ) keep source name (*) allow name modification

Also, facilities to  disable the ok button until said conditions are imposed
would be required.

I believe these won't be needed most of the time, but their presence will
reaffirm users that they are not going to screw everything up
