It sounds like adding a check for existing files in that directory with the targetFileName and then showing the error dialog would take care of this. I can fix this fairly quickly, want me to work on it? |

Didnt take very long at all actually.

Renaming a linked file fails if there already exists a file with the name.
In the General tab of the Entry Editor: Right click on the linked file -> Rename File. A popup that states the new file name appears. Confirming it results in a failure without any message. The other file is not overwritten and the operation apparently has no effect.
I would expect that a popup message appears and asks to user to confirm the overwrite.
