Description Sage Ross 2013-02-27 16:47:56 UTC 
If I put in a title and Commons already has a file with the same name and extension, the app will overwrite the existing file with my upload.
Comment 1 Yuvi Panda 2013-02-27 16:49:09 UTC 
Would 'append a timestamp in case of conflict' be a good idea? Or 'prompt user to rename'?
Comment 2 Sage Ross 2013-02-27 16:51:40 UTC 
I think prompt user to rename would be better, with instructions to be more specific. That way we're likely to get more useful filenames, rather than a mess of File:Cat-2013-02-27-08:23:32.jpeg files.
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2013-04-02 19:14:29 UTC 
Switch to Android component.
