   Duplicate uploads overwrite + dupe detec

   Hello g00r00!   
      
   I just noticed that if I upload a file which already exists (to some file   
   area), the existing file gets overwritten. So someone could "destroy" a file   
   by uploading another file with the same name but with different contents. And   
   probably it will look like the original uploader uploaded the latest   
   ("destroyed") file. Is there any way to prevent this?   
      
   Also, a file which has been deleted (Edit --> Delete) from the file listing   
   will be considered still present (classified as a duplicate) by the upload   
   function as long as mutil PackFileBases maintenance hasn't been run since the   
   deletion. It doesn't matter whether the file actually exists on disk or not.   
   Is there any way the dupe detection could ignore deleted entries? Or perhaps   
   this would collide with some uniqueness constraint of the file base index   
   files?   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
