Overwrite or not

[abject39]

This is the most confusing notification I've ever received from a program. Either it's going to overwrite or it's not. 100% of the time I've encountered this notification it did not overwrite the previous files. Is there no way to clean up the process and allow me to overwrite or clean up the notification a bit?

I think it is fairly clear, technically. 

 

You are exporting files.

 

The question is that the selected files will be overwritten in the export process if you press "Export".

 

If you don't tick the files nor press "Export" then files can't be exported (meaning you can't export them with a new name). 

 

 

 

It could be made better for sure as there is words "either", "cannot be", "untick" and "exclude". So lots of "negative" and "uncertain" words.

 

So how about word it like this: The ticked files will be overwritten in the export, untick files you don't want to be exported.

 

(Again one reason why I dislike the functions "Export" and "Import" over "Save" and "Load".... Just so confusing).

Even if the items are checked it doesn't overwrite the files. Maybe this is some sort of bug then.

If the items are checked it should be overwriting the files.  That's kind of the point.
