Title:
  unable to select a directory to overwrite when exporting for web

Status in HypeDyn:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When exporting for web, attempting to select an existing export
  directory to overwrite and then clicking in "save" navigates into the
  directory, rather than attempting to export. On MacOS, at least you
  can just click "save" without selecting the actual folder, and if the
  currently entered filename matches an existing folder it will warn
  you. On Windows, even doing this navigates into the directory. This
  makes it impossible to overwrite an existing export.

  Line 779 of htfileio.scm has the following code:

    (let ((export-folder (get-safe-new-filename (get-last-exported-dir)
  #f '() folder-name))) ;; third arg was #t

  Changing the #f (actually its the second arg) to #t allows the folder
  to be selected and overwritten on Windows, but the default filename is
  not shown - instead, the containing directory is shown as the default
  filename.

  This should be fixed.
