No problem.

Algorithm:
Chop the filename down to 25 chars or whatever.
If file already exists, add 01 on the end.  
Check again if exists, if so increment number to add. Loop until it
doesn't exist.
If more than 99 files with the same name exist, give up, don't save it.


I've done this in an ARexx script for managing fonts and it works OK.

The Amiga will display image files correctly without extensions, unlike
some OSes, so a name like "picturewithverylongname03" is OK.
