Thanks, Steven, I'll make the appropriate the changes.  I also thought about the uniqify tie-in, but didn't do it this time around because in practice it has never been that big of a deal.  When there are two files of the same name, you only get to select the most recent of the time via virtual buffers, but this has almost always been the one I wanted anyway.  But I do agree this feature should be added for completeness, and I'll put it on my work list.
