Upload Settings - upload mode?

[surferboy]

Hi -

Still confused after all this work on my 4images v1.7.7 gallery -

In the ACP, Settings -> Upload Settings -> upload mode

What are the functions of the three choices and the reasons for selecting these options?

1. Replace Files?
2. Save files with new name?
3. No file upload?

Is there a MOD that allows me to use the existing filename during upload? It doesn't seem like the choices above provide that option.

Budduke in his user categories MOD - http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=24628.0
has this setting:
"7. I have added if no image name inserted then it will use the filename instead (can be turned on/off)"

Is there a MOD like this?  I searched everywhere on this forum for an answer to my first question here and also to see if there was a MOD like budduke's.

Thanks,

Brian

These settings control how 4images handles files with the same filename.
For example, if you have two different pictures with the same filename:
1. C:\nature\photo.jpg
2. C:\animals\photo.jpg

and you try upload both into same category, depends on that setting 4images will:
1. replace first uploaded photo.jpg with second uploaded photo.jpg
2. rename second uploaded photo.jpg into photo_02.jpg
3. return error message that file with such name already exists.
