Safe overwrite

With overwrite the problem is the same like at delete (e.g. below). "Safe delete" is a very good feature (default choice is the "No" at deletes) but could activate the "safe overwrite" mode as well, or could be a separated switch for "safe overwrite".

e.g.: I sort my files between left and right panels with Move. On the destination panel there could be files with the same name. In this case every time I press Enter for open the file, and F6 for move it. Enter again for open the file, and F6 to move, but when the file exists, the fast Enter will immediately overwrite the file (because overwrite prompted with Yes by default).
