Editing my files' listing in File Management

I'm not sure whether this is a plugin question or a Geeklog question (in my site only I - the admin - update my files so I have no editing problems).

So how can I update my files' listing in this specific site? I seem to have no edit rights over them. There's just no "Edit" button anywhere.

Should I just upload a new version and ask Dirk to remove the old one manually? If so, how should I ask (forum, e-mail, instant message)?

Thanks!

I assume that if you want to replace a file that you have submitted on this site - will be a new version.

If it's a new version then upload it again for approval.

If you want the description changed or a file removed then it's best to send a Dirk or I a email message via the contact form. I also check PM"s via glMessenger installed on this site.

I understand about changing a description, but do you check every file uploaded to see if it has an older version and if so, you just delete the old version's listing?

I was assuming you would be changing the filename, version id and description to reflect this is a new version. You don't want to just replace a file as some will have already downloaded it and you will have not way to know which version they used. Also users have no idea something has changed. It's up to you to clearly indicate there has been a change - even if it's just a single line of code to fix a bug.
