Hi guys,

Is there any way to disable the file rename prompt while uploading a file that already exists on the server upload folder?
I think in the past files would get a number appended to the end of the file name.
Is there any way to disable it?

Cheers,
Jacek

Hi jaceks,

There is currently no setting to disable that prompt. If that is something that you would like to see, please let us know in the Feature Request forum!

Thanks!

Thanks Dan. Sorry for the late response but I’ve been on holidays.

This feature would be quite handy to have as some clients may have requirement to prevent users from overwriting existing files.

Thanks

I may be wrong, but I think the third party “Assets” from Pixel & Tonic which replaces the file manager’s UI handles this a bit more gracefully. Perhaps that is worth a look into?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the assist! Pixel & Tonic’s Assets is a fine add-on.

@Jacek,
Is there anything else we can assist you with?

Cheers!
