Ok... so, I have some pictures. They are uploaded by
users. CFFILE action="upload" has a very handy way
of making sure they never overwrite any other files
with the same name. The name of the file is in the
database. (Let the webserver do all the work of cacheing)

Now, I clone the database record. I want to copy
the image file to a new, unique name, (and update the
new database record, of course) so that when editing
is done on the new record, like deleting the image (which
removes both the filename in the db _and_ the actual file)
it doesn't mess up the original record, which would
still be referencing the original image file.

If the CFFILE action="copy" had the nameConflict=makeUnique
like upload does, it would be very easy. But it doesn't.

I guess I could make a UUID and stick a ".jpg" on the
end of it, but keeping the original base file name would
be nicer.

Thoughts?
