RoboHelp does not ask if I want to overwrite existing files

I got a new laptop this week so I had to re-install RoboHelp 8 on my new laptop.  I also installed the two patches available for RoboHelp 8 as well.

When I import .htm files into my RoboHelp Project it is overwriting existing files without asking me if I want to overwrite any existing files.  It is also overwriting my style sheet if the file came from another project with the same style sheet name.  I cannot figure out how to configure RoboHelp so that it will always ask me if I want to overwrite a file if an file with the same name already exists in my project.

I've never had this issue in the past with any version of RoboHelp or with RoboHelp 8.0.2.208.  Any idea on how to configure RoboHelp so it will ask me if I want to overwrite existing files?

I just ran a test and the first import did not issue any warnings but it would not have overwritten anything. The next import did issue the expected warning in respect of files that would be overwritten.

There is nothing to configure but it does appear to be working as expected.

Try importing the same htm file twice into the same project, create a test project for the purpose.
