Add confirmation Prompt in FileDialog Express VI

Status: New

The Filedialog Express  should have an option to confirm overwriting a existing file. Like the Open/Create/Replace File

I agree this would be nice. One trick you can use to make this work automatically without that checkbox is to check new (Neu) instead of new/existing (Neu/Vorhanden). The user is still able to select an existing file with this selection, but they'll automatically be prompted if they want to overwrite it.
