Typically I use "Save as" to save changes to a new file and "Save" to update the current file. So I would like "Save as" to prompt me if I'm about to overwrite an existing file and "Save" not to. This is the common behavior for other editors. The option on the Misc 1 tab forces me to handle save and save as the same.
I think I understand why some users would not want IrfanView to overwrite on save. Example: going through the photos uploaded from a camera and making a set to print, email, etc. User wants to be sure that the original high resolution images aren't changed. I'm guessing that this is also when a user would want the "Display 'Save' dialog for File->Save" option.
A minor quibble, I think these two options belong on the "file handling" tab instead of "Misc 1".
