When the Save File dialog is opened a random number is automatically generated as your scene name to avoid accidental overwrites.
You will have to manually enter a scene name of your choosing and will be prompted with a warning when overwriting an existing file.
Please be aware that you can not overwrite files that are embedded inside Addon Files.
If you want to have a warning when loading a scene while in an existing scene, you can do this from the User Preferences/
Misc Tab in the
Main UI.
“Confirm Load” Toggling this on will give you a pop up warning when loading a new scene.
