disallow overwriting in wf-downloads

scenario:

2 users uploaded 2 different files with the same name.

WF-downloads inserts in the DB the following records:

-------------
id | filename
-------------
1 | file.zip
2 | file.zip


in the meantime overwrites in the XOOPS uploads folder the first file with the second , due the the same filename!!

both the links now are related to the same file (the second one).

is this a bug?

Not so much a bug, but a very rare occasion perhaps?

If you submit this to the wf-projects site (http://www.wf-projects.com) - it is something that can be looked at for future updates perhaps.

Re: disallow overwriting in wf-downloads

Actually it is basic common knowledge that two files with the same name cannot exist in the same folder. I always make sure I have a unique name for each file uploaded.

I assume that the only way to get around this would be to have wf-downloads auto rename the uploaded file, but this would hinder uploading updates to existing files.

Unfortunately it is quite common to upload files named "index.php" or "index.htm" in our site.

Doesn't WF-downloads check the owner of the file before the upload to avoid overwriting? it should be checked i guess or it should be a configuration option i think.

Thanks to all
