Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When new users use MPF, they don't think to change the folder after dumping their first disc. Inevitably, they run into an error when dumping a disc in the same folder as a previous dump.

Describe the solution you'd like
Give a warning Yes/No pop-up to the user when the folder they are requesting to dump to is not empty, which may cause errors.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Automatically rename the folder that MPF decides on if the current one is not empty

Additional context
A general solution is desirable for #494 and #458

To be more specific, this would be for the case where someone dumps with one program and then dumps with another, possibly with intersecting filenames. The case where a completed dump of the same program already exists is already handled by the code.
