I am not sure you can override this behavior in the file open dialog box, although there are many obscure options. I had a bug in one of my windows programs that I didn't feel like fixing. It would fail somehow if I chose to over-write an existing file. So if I wanted to over-write, I would delete the old file from the open file dialog. It's also nice when cleaning up the cruft in a directory when you don't have to open the file manager to delete a few files. I generally prefer to have the freedom to use my computer the way I want, and I find the linux desktop managers to be a little clunky because they limit what you can do. I can see that a programmer should be able to override this behavior in the case of a CNC file where an operator shouldn't be able to mess up a directory.
