To set the folder and the name:

  1. Click Location · name.
  2. Under Folder, click Browse and choose the output folder.
  3. Under Name, type the file name without an extension.

If the folder already holds files with these names, a band at the top of the window says so, and Convert asks before it writes:

The question before converting: 2 existing files. Add number, Sample Tower_2 with the old files kept, or Overwrite, removing 2 old files. An Always check box and a Convert button.
Add number keeps the old files; Overwrite replaces them.

Select Always to stop asking. The choice is saved under Overwrite in Settings, where you can change it.

The list at the top keeps presets of formats and their options. The folder and the name are not part of a preset.
