Overwrite warning

I swear I asked about this before, but I can't find it anywhere. Any chance we could get a warning when we are uploading files to the website file manager if we are about to overwrite a file? I've lost a number of screenshots because I'm an idiot, and would love a bit of idiot proofing ;)

Lummox JR	Hrm. Ideally a warning would come before the upload happened, but it'd have to know the filename. I'm not sure if the filename is available from the form (there might be security restrictions), but if it is then I would think a warning should be possible.

Flick	If you cant do a warning, how about an addition to the filename. 'scrnshot.png' becomes 'scrnshot_1.png' or something if 'scrnshot.png' already exists. I'd prefer the warning, but I'd take either. Maybe have a checkbox for people who aren't idiots and don't want the renaming to happen.

Lummox JR	Yeah, I was thinking about that same thing with a checkbox. It's actually a good idea in its own right and the two concepts aren't mutually exclusive.
