When uploading a file to a location where the file already exists (the filename being the piece of identifying information), user receives a vague error dialog 'Error: Error on uploading files'.

User should receive a message that indicates that the file already exists, and perhaps it should be done through Plone's status message plumbing versus a JavaScript dialog.
Steps to reproduce:
Upload or create an image called test.png in a folder. Then, attempt to FlashUpload an image with the same name. Error message appears.

Couple of behavior options:

1) Ignore files that already exist, just keep uploading.
2) If a file exists, upload it again, but give it a different name (perhaps with a suffix)

Maybe the option could be admin-settable in the configlet.
