I will revise this feature in version 2.0 to have more options.
I plan to support image groups, where a group is represented by an image folder.
And the support for capturing images and organize them will be a separate app, so it can be used for all situations including the IDE.

But for now you have to live with that "by design" effect:
If you want to use this feature, you have to follow your own naming convention, to assure, that your images are not messed up.

in your case:

class screenDialog1:
    screenDialog1_button_OK = "button_OK.png"
class screenDialog2:
    screenDialog2_button_OK =

Title:
  [request] IDE: Auto generated image names using image = should not
  overwrite.

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In the new sikuli 1.1 there is a nice feature that automatically names your images.
  For example

  class screenDialog1:
      button_OK =

  If you put your cursor after "=" and take a image the name will aromatically generated -> button_OK.png
  That excellent idea however there is a problem
  In a bigger UI map you will definitely have more dialogues screen with different buttons... like this:

  class screenDialog1:
      button_OK = "button_OK.png"
  class screenDialog2:
      button_OK =

  now if you put your cursor on after "=" on the second button_OK and
  try to get image you will mess up your UI map without even knowing it.
  The problem is that sikuli will again generate "button_OK.png" and
  will replace the first one. There is no warning and even no visual
  change in in the first button until you reload sikuli.

  Suggested fix:
  - when image already exist just pop up dialogue for user to enter different name
  or
  - in old 1.0 sikuli there was automatic indexation 1,2,3 etc
  or
  - if you are in a class you may compose image name like this: screenDialog1.button_OK.png

  Happy holidays
