Need option to overwrite file of same name

[SnowCreative]

It would be best to allow people to overwrite files with the same names, to replace old versions, rather than automatically create a new file with "duplicate" added to the name. E.g., add a system setting to either replace or rename.

@Rainbowtiger I understand why you're saying this, but in some cases a rename is not possible, for example when having directory names which are essentially the same but have lowercase/uppercase characters in them, such as "MYDIR" and "mydir". That's why directories are tmp renamed.

@sdrenth I think @SnowCreative referred to files only, not directories. My customers and I have the same need.

@SnowCreative There is a system setting called „upload_check_exists“.
Without having installed FileSluggy, this system settings does work.
Even though I would prefer to see a notice (with details e.g. filesizes and last-edited-date from the original and new file to compare this) and the possibility to choose, if I would like to override the file, rename the file or cancel the upload-operation. But that's a core thing/improvement.

In general FileSluggy should keep the possibility from MODX-core to inform the user, that a file with this name already exists in this directory, if system setting „upload_check_exists“ is set to „yes“.
Now, some editors upload the same file a view times because the file is silently uploaded and renamed in the background.
file.pdf, file_duplicate.pdf, file_duplicate_duplicate.pdf, file_duplicate_duplicate_duplicate.pdf

Does anyone have time to take care of this improvement? That would be very helpful.
