Upload the same file again - with file rename

Hmm. I was thinking about updating that JS and the backend that goes with it, but

@anrikun Is there any reason why when the file is saved and moved to file_manged, we can't just remove the entry in the file_resup table?

It seemed to work for eelkeblok and I can't think of a reason why we wouldn't want that behaviour all the time. 🤔 I think that normally if you upload the same filename over and over core would just rename it for you.

Hi @Tim
To be honest I can't remember why :-)
I must have done this on purpose but it's difficult to say.
Maybe you could give it a try on 8.x-1.x and see how it turns out.
And if I can remember of something in the meantime I'll let you know.

hmmm...

Well, I've been testing it out and it sure seems to allow uploading the same filename over and over again.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for your great work @Tim
I'll add you as a maintainer so that you can publish a beta if you want.

You're welcome. Thank you very much!!!

🥲

By the way, I think I remember something.
When I designed the module, in my use case back in the day, I had to prevent a same file from being mistakenly uploaded several times (as much as possible).
So quite the opposite of what's wanted here :-D
Maybe it could be an additional setting?

Ah yes, that's a good point. And people are used to how it works so it should be configurable.

Thanks a lot! How could I apply this with 7.x?

Oh yeah that would be a neat back port. I believe it would pretty much be identical to the changes here, but I guess with variable_get and variable_set instead of config.
