@Arne and experts: We can overwrite a file with GWToolset provided no other user has edited the file. Perhaps experts are aware of further options with GWT for overwriting files.
Examples: 1. GWToolset overwriting with a different resolution succeeded for
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-_RMNH...
checking the box "Reload media from URL" down the page. The new resolution is considered a new version. (Here a downgrade as a test.) The old version remains available.
2. GWToolset overwriting failed for
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_-
_RMNH.MOL.216649_-_Mitra_aurantia_aurantia_%28Gmelin,_1791%29_-_Mitrida e_-_Mollusc_shell.jpeg
with or without that box checked because
"A media file with the identical title "File:Naturalis Biodiversity Center - RMNH.MOL.216649 - Mitra aurantia aurantia (Gmelin, 1791) - Mitridae - Mollusc shell.jpeg" already exists in the wiki. It was edited or created by someone other than you"
- another user had edited the categories.

@Hans,
Thanks for the input so far. Please keep me updated on that overwrite. If anything, it is once again a reminder that these things must be done right the first time around ;)

We're talking about
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_contributed_by_Museum _Catharijneconvent
? Main uploader there was HuskyBot i think.
I made a mistake some months a go while uploading photographs of dead bird skins for Naturalis with GWToolset with various views for the same specimen uploaded under the same filename. So that is like uploading a higher resolution, an image with a different checksum under the same name. You see the result here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_- _RMNH.AVES.101712_-_Corvus_enca_compilator_Richmond,_1903_-_Corvidae_-_ bird_skin_specimen.jpeg
(scroll down) Later uploads under the same filename by GWToolset were accepted as new versions. Caveat: the uploader was the same user for these various "versions".
Best regards, hansmuller
PS At the end of my present batch (18/12 morning?) GWToolset is requested to overwrite medium resolution
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center_- _RMNH.MOL.216649_-_Mitra_aurantia_aurantia_%28Gmelin,_1791%29_-_Mitrida e_-_Mollusc_shell.jpeg
with large, so we'll see. I can put up a test image to test if another GWToolset user can overwrite it (?). I don't think so, this might be Arnes problem.

Hi Arne, I actually don't think this can be done. It is an action in which an existing file on Commons must be updated, this is not supported by the toolset. We had a similar issue with higher res. Video files. We decided to stick with the current resolution. Alternatively, a volunteer could do this update using a script. Best, Jesse

Dear Arne,
Yes, this is a modest batch that can be done with the GW toolset, most easily if the images each have a (temporary) individual URL and so are accessible on the internet.
Groeten, hans muller

Hi all,
Museum Catharijneconvent has approached us that they would like to make higher-resolution versions available of images that are already available on Commons. Around 800-1500 images are involved.
Is this something that can be handled by the GW toolset, or are there better ways to do this?
Best,
