Description

Uploading a new version of a file is not expected UX standard and display wrong information.

When uploading a new version, just after initiating the upload, the screen stay put like nothing happen. It is confusing especially for big size file as the"on hold" time will be significantly longer.
We should display a loading wheel, upload bar, whatever so the user is aware something is going on.

Once the upload is completed the page is refreshed (same display as you were in the gallery with ALL the pictures in it) and it shows only a single picture in the gallery (path/explorer is displayed). The one you just uploaded. This is misleading and look like incomplete job.

Or we should show the gallery with all the picture after the new version upload.
Or we should show a page with the single image uploading success and a link to get back to the gallery.

While these are not bugs but request, it is on a very used and popular feature.

Solution
This was solved for Tiki 17 by Jonny Bradley's r62687. The interface is not strictly better than the previous one (it is less efficient), but it is clear and reliable.
