File Duplication on Paste

When pasting a file onto itself in the File Browser, Image Manager etc. a copy of the existing file will be made with the suffix _copy or using the option set in Editor Profiles -> Editor Parameters -> Filesystem -> File Name Suffix.

Pasting a file into a new folder that contains a file with the same name will now display an option to Keep Both files - creating a copy as above - or Overwrite the exiting file with the pasted one.

Legacy Media Support

The Description text field added to the JCE Media Field in the last udpated has caused some issues for some users who were accessing the field value directly from the database in Yootheme Dynamic Content and other extension functions. Adding the Description field required that the Media Field value be saved as a JSON string, containing values for both the URL and Description fields, ie: {"media_src":"","media_text":""} instead of a single value for the URL as before the update.

A Legacy Media Support option has been added in the Field - Media JCE plugin parameters to remove the Description text field and restore the single URL value. Once enabled, existing affected articles containing thesese JCE Media Fields should be re-saved to restore the single value.

The option can bse set in System -> Manage -> Plugins in Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 or Extensions -> Plugins in Joomla 3. Search for Field - Media JCE , click the entry to edit it and enable the option if required.
