Bug ID: 373216
Summary: Spectacle - save-as dialog attempt to overwrite
filename instead of loading it for edit on click
Product: Spectacle

OS: Linux

attachment 1 - spectacle save-as dialog with name after click/cancel of warning
Ver 16.08.3
KDE Frameworks 5.28.0
Qt 5.7.0 (built against 5.7.0)
If you need to save a sequence of images, but need to give them different names
(e.g. image_1234_buttons.png, image_1234_dialog.png, etc...) the spectacle
save-as dialog attempts to overwrite the existing image immediately when you
click on the filename in the file save-as dialog instead of loading the
filename into the filename edit-box and waiting for the user to modify/save.
This is unexpected behavior and different from the way most of the other file
save-as dialogs work in kde (so much for consistency). When you choose save as,
the dialog shown in attachment 1 appears. When you click on a filename an
immediate warning is thrown to the screen (see attachment 2)
This should not occur and the warning is premature. Instead, clicking on the
filename should load the filename in the filename box for the user to edit. If,
and only if, the user fails to change the filename and presses save such that
the original file would be overwritten -- then the warning dialog should
appear.
The spectacle save-as should not actually attempt to write to the file when the
filename is clicked to load it for editing.
