Overall summary
When downloading attachments with a different name, you risk overwriting the file if such a name was already present in the folder.
Steps to reproduce
Before downloading the attachment, we have the option to rename it. If we rename the .jpeg to, for example, “A” and there is already an “A” .jpeg file in the location, it will overwrite that file without any prompt or warning!
By default, names are random based on time. When we want to download the same, e.g., image twice with the default name, curiously enough, a message normally appears that a file with that name already exists. But if we already want to do it with the same name changed then there is no message anymore, and it doesn't matter whether the same image or a different one. Probably the problem is not only with images.
Expected result
There should be a warning or query the same as there normally is in windows, here there is none of that.
Actual result
This problem has been around for as long as I can remember. I don't understand why it doesn't work here as it normally does in windows. Unfortunately this caused me to overwrite many files for myself before I realized what was happening.
