Yes, just make sure the new image has the same name and extension.

Oh, you found that. I'm glad you like it :) That was just a proof of
concept, so to speak. I'll work on it and make better.

Ah yes, the NSA stuff. That's why I made it opt-out in the first place. My
initial plan was to hard-code auto-uploading without asking the user haha :D
But yeah, since it's not available right now I might aswell disable it for
the time being.

Sure, that's a good idea.

Alrighty.
