@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.MOL.216645_1_-_Ziba_annulata_%28Reeve,_1844%29_-_Mitridae_-_Mollusc_shell.jpeg 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.
