"Project Filename Exists" warning when saving a project with existing name

S2400 Feature Requests

Hi there Isla team - hats off to the great work here!

I typically save my projects titled as dates with number extensions if I make multiple in a day (e.g. “12-16-20” next one “12-16-20-2”).

Yesterday I used the wrong date by accident and overwrote an existing project I had created. The original project files are still in the project folder although I can’t load back up the session, patterns, etc. as I think when I overwrote it saved my blank pattern over the original .S24 project file.

Anyways a warning to avoid stupid mistakes like this in the future would be helpful with a simple “Project Filename Exists you Nimrod” :wink: - thank you all :beer:!

Has this been fixed? This morning I accidently did this again and it looked like it overwrote the file, but I shut my machine off immediately once it happened because I didn’t want to ruin my previous session…

Also I should’ve posted this in bugs report thread…

It is on the to-do list. Sorry it did not make it into the last release.

Excited about the new release!! I didn’t notice this in the release notes, do you know whether this remains on the roadmap? Thank you and the entire team so much for all your hard work!
