    Default Preserving File Name

    Is there any way to force Contribute to overwrite files?

    We update our site daily and as a result, each time new images are loaded
    contribute adds a number to the end of the file, there are hundreds of "old
    files" example 'image_134.jpg.

    Is it not possible to rename the previous version example 'image_old.jpg,
    incase we need to roll back.

    This makes cleaning the web server a real pain...

    Thanks lmartinez,
    Maybe I should try and clarify. On some of our pages there are several images
    which are updated each day, the naming convention for these file is
    image_name_1.jpg, image_name_2.jpg and so on. When the pages are being are
    being updated the new images, which are saved on the local computer, will have
    their filenames changed to image_name_1_000.jpg and image_name_2_000.jpg and so
    on and after a few days of this we will have files called image_name_1_145.jpg
    and 145 dormant images sitting on the web server.
