A new file is created each time Save command is performed

Step to reproduce:

1. Ensure that early_exit=false
2. Open swappy for an image (or make a screenshot)
3. Ctrl-s to save
4. Anther Ctr-s to save
5. 2 png files, with same content are created

Expectation:

Only 1 file is created

This is really on purpose based on timestamp when you save the file. We could generate an ID for each session but that could be seen as breaking change. What is wrong with the current behaviour?

For example, in my case, I'm using swappy in sway for editing screenshot.
During editing session, I press Ctrl-S several time , just to ensure I dont loose my changes. So lots of pictures are created which really confuse me.

My 2 cents: it should behave similar to any normal editor (notepad, nano, vscode, word, photoshop ... ). For the first save, if file name not existed, the app could ask for a name or generating one. Afterward, the latest contents are saved into the same file.

Instead of implementing one specific behaviour, this could be made more general so everybody can customize this how they like: take a parameter that allows a different command to be run when an image is saved.

# blah will be passed the temporary location of the saved file
swappy --save-file-with blah
