before it overwrote some files without asking and some with asking
it dependant on the file extension for which one would have to
memorize a long list or know which would qualify as single image
formats. You know that list of course but how many of our users do
know / realize that ?

now it will only overwrite in case of multiple images which always
contain some kind of place holder or wildcard.

also there are strictly fewer cases where the output is overwritten
without asking

can you elaborate on why you consider this worse than before ?
