For me, the confusion would be resolved if the Save button was renamed to
"Save and Purge". I was never quite sure what that button saved, though in
retrospect it's pretty obvious.

If you choose 'Cancel' it takes no action - so nothing changes (no new
stack loaded, no old stack deleted).
If you choose 'Purge' the IDE does its best to remove the current stack
in memory and *then* trys to load the new stack (from the different
filepath) - as (in principal) there is no longer any stack in memory
with the conflicting name, then engine loads it and things carry on.
If you choose 'Save' the IDE does the same as above except that *before*
it tries to remove the current stack from memory, it saves (save as, if
the current stack has no filename).
