What happens if a file with the same name already exists?
You have three options, configurable in Settings:
- Append timestamp (default) -- adds a date/time stamp to the filename (e.g., report_20260218_1430.xlsx). The timestamp format is customizable.
- Overwrite -- always replaces the existing file with the new one.
- Create .bak backup -- renames the existing file to .bak before saving the new one.
