Amazefilemanager: Corrupted files

[organik1]

Hello Dev.
There's an issue with amaze file manager where when a file is shared to the same folder from a third party (not stock) filemanager, using amaze's "save as" option, the file in question becomes corrupt.
However is stock is used to share the file.. The file is renamed to null without extensions but not corrupt.

To explain better.
Launch a third party file manager, opena folder (let's choose DCIM), pick a file and opt to share it, select amaze's -save as- from the menu and now from the directory choose the same folder (DCIM) and save the file there.

Please I hope this issue is looked into, I just lost a very important file because of this. Thank you.

(The two third party file manager that I made use of, and which produce this issue is DIR file manager And Simple FileManager.

Sounds like a overwrite-itself problem... if I understand correctly the symptom looks like this

1. Open a file, e.g DSC1001.jpg
2. Share this file from the file manager's own menu
3. Select Amaze "Save As..."
4. Amaze popped up, choose the same folder as DSC1001.jpg
5. File was overwritten by itself, undefined behaviour (that file may or may not be corrupt)

I think we should add a overwrite confirmation dialog to prompt user, or even further, give a new name to the duplicated file or simply block overwriting. The second solution will depend on #1201 however.

Couldn't reproduce it with CM File Manager (it's the nearest thing I can found on hand), so I couldn't mark the bug label yet; but I do think this should be fixed.

And sorry again for your loss of file...

Perfect Tracelove! You get it. I was going to suggest that. But I wanted to be sure Emmanuelmess could replicate it.
