Image name conflicts

[Maik Qualmann]

digiKam detects file conflicts before the copy/move is carried out. You then 
have the options to cancel, automatically overwrite, automatically skip or 
automatically rename. With automatic renaming, a counter is appended to the 
duplicate file - FILENAME_vx.EXT.
