[Bug 1378176] Re: Skins folder on upload of background images - multiple images attached to skins
At the very least the adding of the image should have appendix added to
it like what happens when we upload a file on the Content -> Files page
eg if I upload a file called badger.jpg more than once I get
badger.jpg
badger.jpg.1
badger.jpg.2
badger.jpg.3
So they are named visually different.
Currently there is the warning about deleting a file that is used in a
skin "This file is used as a background image in one or more of your
skins. Are you sure you want to delete this file?" so people shouldn't
be able to delete an image from a skin by accident

Title:
Skins folder on upload of background images - multiple images attached
to skins
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Confirmed
Bug description:
A feature request, although not exactly sure if a bug/issue
If a skin is deleted, and a skin is re-imported, the background images are also re-imported.
This can be visually confusing for users (see attached image: multiple_copies_images.png) as it creates multiple copies of the same image. I know the image files have unique background identifiers, its just that many users will get confused, especially if they are learning to use skins and go to delete a file and accidentally delete the one their skin is using.
Is it possible to have a folder automatically created on upload of an image called 'page-skins' for background image purposes?
Or have it so that it recognises the image is already there, maybe?
