CKFinder 1.4.1.1 cfm - Files with parenthesis causes error.

If I upload a file with duplicate file names the file will be renamed with parenthesis. example. banner1.gif will be renamed to banner1(1).gif if another exists. CKFinder cannot display the image with a file name that contains parenthesis. A question mark is displayed. I cannot delete or rename banner1(1).gif. If I try to rename or delete it gives me back a XML request error: OK(200) error.
Is there anything I can do to prevent the () parenthesis from being inserted on duplicates. Can I force an overwrite option to occur if a duplicate is encountered? I would prefer to overwrite the image if a duplicate is uploaded. I'm using CKFinder 1.4.1.1 with Coldfusion 9.

Hey I have a question about this too. But it's unrelated to the problem the above post is talking about. Mine relates to using a lightbox feature. When you click on the image it doesn't show up if there's parentheses on the image name.

How do you fix that? Ideally I'd like to get ckfinder to setup duplicate image names with hyphens instead of parentheses:
banner-1-.gif
instead of:
banner(1).gif

Or if there's a good way to do regular expression fix or some other way just let me know.
Any ideas?

If you want to add anything else instead of parentheses - this behavior can be changed directly in the server connector, in the FileUpload command handler (not configurable at this moment, manual changes in source code are required).

Regarding the original report about problems in ColdFusion - I couldn't reproduce it, however probably it was caused by some other issue that was fixed in CKFinder 1.4.2.
