[TYPO3] Reuse images on different pages?

[T.Joga]

This might help, or not:

typo3\t3lib\class.t3lib_basicfilefunc.php

line 281;
function getUniqueName($theFile, $theDest, $dontCheckForUnique=0)    {

set;

$dontCheckForUnique=1


If you delete page containing picture which is used on another page - 
the picture gets wiped on all pages tht are sharing same picture. One 
solution is to chmod your pictures that typo cant do this.

If there is a better solution or way to change dontCheckForUnique value 
from TS - I want know it too!
