This won't be a problem in another few days when I put up the rest of the scripts. There is a new one called editpic that is something like showpic except it gives you more options. This is where you will delete pictures from, and when you do they really are deleted from the server (but you are correct, deleting them the old way does not remove them from /library/....) So you will be able to delete, and then reupload the old file (at any point in the future, not just before someone else uploads another file, which is why you have to do it fast now) it will have the same name on the server so you won't have to change any of your image tags.
The system does try to change names it doesn't like (it doesn't like filenames to have special characters or spaces, and it needs them to be unique for each uploader.) It changes example_1.jpg to example_1_1.jpg instead of to example_2.jpg because it's not very smart. And also because it would be a little presumptuous to do that. I wouldn't want a picture of my 2003 trip to the beach, beach_2003.jpg changed to beach_2004.jpg. I'd want it changed to beach_2003_1.jpg. And it's really hard to tell the example.jpg case from the beach_2003.jpg case. But if there was a way it would be better, I agree.
