Renaming overwrites existing without prompt (data loss) #25

@wedebe

Description

@wedebe

Copying a file from one path to another will prompt before overwriting if the source filename already exists in the destination.

However, renaming a file to an existing file name in the same folder will destroy the target file and replace with the renamed file without warning the user.

eg:

root@mutant51:/# ls -1 /tmp
chrony.status
dw.info
hotplug.socket
kodiext.socket
powerup_without_waking_tv.txt
do_not_delete.log
random.log

From file commander, renaming random.log to do_not_delete.log will cause do_not_delete.log to be lost without warning.
