No option to overwrite existing target file #616

Closed

Description

From both the CLI and UI versions pyglossary throws an error when target file exists which forces the user to manually remove the files before converting again.

Expected:

  • for the CLI version: a --force -f flag to force remove target file.
  • for the GUI versions: a checkbox to overwrite existing or a GUI yes/no alert with the option to overwrite.

Reasoning:

Existence of the target file is not per se an error, and should not be treated as such; instead of forcing the user to manually remove the file it would be more user friendly to warn and allow to proceed.
