Problem loading a remixed file if previous version loaded to Showcase
---------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: SQ-546
         URL: http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-546
     Project: squeakland
        Type: Bug
  Components: showcase  
    Reporter: Stephen Thomas
    Priority: Critical


I believe there may be an issue with using only the URI that's generated when you are replacing a project.
Here is a Use Case: 
  1) I load a .pr called "My Proj 1" 
  2) I then want edit that to make a new creation I want to upload.
  3) I then upload the "new creation" with a new Project Name
  4) Both projects will have the same URI

It was stated in SQ-534 http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-534 that 
    new versions replace the older one automatically, unless people start from scratch. 

    The system's smart enough to know you're replacing a project. There's a URI that's generated when you save the file in Etoys 4. It stays constant through all versions, even if the title is changed.

Then how do I upload a "Remix"?

Found this when:

I uploaded a project "Fraction Tools v1beta" which was a remix of an earlier project I had uploaded. I forget the original name, but it now shows up in my "account" as "None" with the latest upload as opposed to the original version.

I tried deleting "None" and it seemed to take, but then it re-appeared (this may have been after I did another upload of "Fraction Tools v1beta"

I tried re-deleting 'None" and it seemed to work, but the image for "Fraction Tools v1beta" on my account, project and everyone page (when I'm logged in) is a broken image indicator, when I click on it, the .pr file loads.

Also during this I had tried to make the new version Public, and while it seeemed to show a state of Public in my account (as evidenced by the "Make Private" button") when I logged out I could not see the project.

I will leave things in a funky state on my account for now, until I can be sure I can re-create the problem at will or I get confirmation that the problem is understood and re-creatable.

I have posted this as Critical as I do tend to remix and encourage my students to due the same.
