Hello Sarah and thanks for replying.

I'm using filter so that the user will see only the files with like
extensions, but I've tried it without the filtering as well, with no
luck. I think the heart of the issue is that when asked if the user
wants to overwrite a file and they affirm that they do...

..the file *should* be overwritten instead of duplicating the name
with a doubled up extension.

As a point of reference, I'm using Windows 7 for development and
initial testing, yet no other app on the machine (or any Windows
machine I have ever used) behaves the same way when presented with a
"replace file" option.

Is that a bug in Rev or a coding error on my part?
Does anyone else experience the same issue?

Best regards,
David C.
