Renaming files does not check other file names

Do you want to: Report a bug
DocSpace version: latest on the web site

  1. I copy two diffeerent files into docspace 123.docx and abc.docx.
  2. I copy changed file abc.docx into docspace and as a result I get two versions in one file of this file. It’s ok.
  3. After that In docspase I rename 123.docx to abc.docx and as a result I get two different files with same name abc.docx. It’s not ok.
  4. After that I copy changed file abc.docx into docspace and as a result I get two versions in one file of those file, that was renamed latest, but first file abc.docx doesn’t get new version and any other changes.

What is a bug? Any file manager doesn’t allow have two files or more files with same name.

Hello @blacula

Thank you for the provided scenario. We will check it, and then I’ll provide feedback.

Hello again @blacula

Having several files with the same name is allowed indeed, and we are not planning to change this behavior. However, uploading another file with the same to save it is a version will add a version to the first uploaded file by date. To make it more clearer we made an enhancement to implement a better indication of which file will be updated.
