In my python program it does not loose anything you do not delete on
purpose.

    def save_as_buffer(self):
        dprint("LOG: Entering save_as_buffer")
        return FileSel(self.title + ": Save File").run(self.window,
                       self.filename, self.save_as_ok_func)

    def save_as_ok_func(self, filename):
        """file selector callback function"""
        dprint("LOG: Entering save_as_ok_func")
        old_filename = self.filename

        if (not self.filename or filename != self.filename):
            if os.path.exists(filename):
                err = _("Ovewrite existing file '%s'?")  % filename
                dialog = gtk.MessageDialog(self.window,gtk.DIALOG_MODAL,
                                           gtk.MESSAGE_QUESTION,
                                           gtk.BUTTONS_YES_NO, err);
                result = dialog.run()
                dialog.destroy()
                if result != gtk.RESPONSE_YES:
                    return gtk.FALSE

        self.filename = filename
