Update when re-uploading the same image
Posted: 23 Jan 2024, 04:19
Hello Karl
I have been having a problem for years that we have already discussed in a similar context in this forum:
On company websites it often happens that, for example, you upload print screens of software solutions to a gallery. The name of the image corresponds to the name for the mask, e.g. “Address form”. The image then appears in the gallery without any further work after the initial upload and the caption “address form” underneath. It's so great!
Now maybe change this address form in the software. I create the print screen again under the same name and upload it. And there it simply never appears currently unless I rename the image. You can probably imagine how troublesome this can be if you have this case again and again. The image name also changes.
The problem also occurs when I only see later in the gallery that out of 200 images, 15 have sensor spots in them. When I then regenerate these images (the image name must remain unchanged because it is also the order number) I always have enormous problems and waste an incredible amount of time. Unfortunately, deleting the old image versions beforehand doesn't help. Just like clearing browser cache.
Couldn't this problem be solved finally and cleanly with a function or, even better, if old disturbing data is definitely deleted or overwritten when uploading?
Maybe I'm stupid. But this problem must be solvable somehow. I think it's really the only thing that's been getting on my last nerve for years. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration. I still have two or even three nerves ;-)
Best regards from Basel
