Comment (by mwoods):

 I don't want to overwrite the original file. I want to rename the original
 file so that the original and the new file exist side-by-side. I can do
 this with the Rename Existing option in the overwrite prompt and it works
 but my enhancement request is for it do this only when the new file has
 finished uploading.

 The sequence of events is currently:
 1. Upload new file with temporary filename. Original file is renamed to a
 unique filename.
 2. Upload finishes.
 3. Now rename the temp file to the old file's filename.

 But it should be:
 1. Upload new file with temporary filename. '''Original file is
 untouched.'''
 2. Upload finishes, '''now rename the existing file to a unique name.'''
 3. Now rename the temp file to the old file's filename.

 The reason this is a problem for me is because sometimes I have to upload
 large files or I have a poor internet connection so the existing file is
 thrown offline for 10 minutes or more. I have to counteract that by
 uploading a different filename and then renaming everything manually.
