The external file is overwritten without warning

[atiris]

Overview

Any overwriting of the external file should be with a warning and explanation what will happen if it continues.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create two kdbx databases with this structure:

local.kdbx

Root LOCAL
- Pass LOCAL (entry)

share.kdbx

Root SHARE
- Pass SHARE (entry)

2. Multiple choices:

• On local.kdbx create group TEST -> KeeShare -> Type: Inactive -> Path: share.kdbx -> Password: set -> OK, Then Edit group TEST -> KeeShare -> Change type to: Export -> OK

• On local.kdbx create group TEST -> KeeShare -> Type: Export -> Path: full path to file e.g. C:\pass\share.kdbx (do not use the Browse button) -> Password: set -> OK

3. Result in any case: share.kdbx is overwritten without any warning and now contains nothing.

Expected Behavior

Any change that lead to delete file or passwords from external file should show warning with explanation what happens if the user continues.

Actual Behavior

External file is replaced without any warning.
