You can't easily disable that on OS X. You can easily set up a folder action to rename files you save once they hit the filesystem. It's clunky, but better than renaming things by hand.

  • Just pressing Enter on that dialog is less hassle and requires no renaming than a folder action which requires you to move the dotfile after its creation?

  • @grgarside Yes - but it doesn't disable the warning. It's a bad workaround - but if you do this dozens of times a day, automating a workaround is still viable. Hard to tell - I'm guessing the OP was hoping for a quick patch.
