It would be a good idea to do some testing on the beta server before using
the GWtoolset in production, it's a lot of work to make changes to large
numbers of files on Commons. These type of mistakes will then be filtered
out by the time you do a batch upload. Here is a write-up
<http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en/blogs/research-amp-development-en/201407/first-batch-upload-wikimedia-commons-using-gwtoolset>
of
my own workflow.
As for filenames, each name must be unique. So try and create a unique name
by using e.g. the title field, identifier field and date as a combination.
Good luck,
Jesse

Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but i have
noticed with our upload
of Welsh landscapes that several different images often have the same file
name. Each upload is just replacing the previous file by that name. Is
there some way to give each 'version' of the file its own page on commons
or would i have to manually identify each one and re-upload with new file
names?
here is an example:

Thanks

Now some uploads run fast in the foreground and
of course win over a
background GWTs-job (~100s x slower). Perhaps we
should share the room
more equally, slow uploads can endanger projects, less to show to donors.
