Saving image sequence using slice labels as file names overwrites files without a warning.

Saving image sequence using slice labels as file names overwrites
files without a warning.

1. Create or open a stack
2. Assing labels to every slice
3. "File - Save As - Image Sequence"
4. Tick the box "Use slice labels as file names"
5. Select a folder

If any file in the target folder has the same name as a slice in the
stack, it will be overwritten without warning.
It would be wonderful if, before writing files, the folder is
inspected for collisions, and if any, a dialog is shown with the list
of files or the number of files that will be overwritten.

I experienced the same thing. In addition, there might also be internal
collisions in the slice labels in which case only the last slice with a
common slice label will end up saved which poses yet another task in a
possible solution to this problem.
