I cannot reproduce the issue.
Indeed the button is labelled "Save" but I have no issue selecting a file

Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 12.0 build 40629

Accorring to https://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qfiledialog.html, the difference between
getOpenFileName and getSaveFileName is that the latter accepts a file that does
not exist yet (and this is what we want):
"This is a convenience static function that will return a file name selected by
the user. The file does not have to exist."
So it should not prevent selecting an existing file (and does not for me at
least).

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
