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,

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 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

We're talking about

? 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...
(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...
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.

@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 ;)
