Description Guillaume Paumier 2010-08-06 18:40:12 UTC
- use automatic uniqueness for title
Comment 1 Neil Kandalgaonkar 2011-02-28 23:17:28 UTC
Guillaume originally wanted the software to automatically pick a filename if the desired one was taken. e.g. "My picture" would become "My picture 12345", if 12344 pictures already existed.

We already show an *error* if the filename is not unique. 

If this bug means anything, interpreting this to mean that we should show a suggested unique filename.
Comment 2 Neil Kandalgaonkar 2011-03-21 22:41:56 UTC
On further discussion this feature is at least questionable (and some say not desirable)

- automatic renaming will lead to users being confused about where their files went

- popup error + confirmed renaming could be more annoying than simply showing an error

We may revisit this later but closing it for now as a WONTFIX.
