When a "configuration profile" is saved one has to always confirm the file
overwrite option, when I change something (like a filter) on an existing
configuration I just want to save it with the same name!
So why not create two "Save" option?
- a "Save as..." that will let you change/select the file name and eventually asking the file-overwrite confirmation
- a "Save" that will simply save the current configuration file without the file-overwrite confirmation!

Currently one has to click left-mouse button three times in order to overwrite
a configuration, which is insane. Having two buttons "save" and "save as..."
would be the solution saving the most clicks. But it doesn't scale to all
places where FFS saves data:
1. Save ffs_gui configuration via menu
2. Save ffs_gui configuration directly on main dialog
3. Save ffs_batch configuration
4. Save .csv via menu
5. "Save changes to current configuration?" popup (yes, no, cancel)
Therefore I'll go a middle way: I've disabled the overwrite prompt for 1-4,
saving one left-click, and added special handling for 5 to directly save on
"yes", saving two mouse-clicks.
