I ran, by mistake, something like 'png2icns foo.png foo.icns': all the (existing) PNG files were erased.
Maybe this behavior could be prevented?

Other tools like imagemagick don't behave that way and I don't think it is appropriate for tools to do this, please exercise more care and do backups next time.
