Hi,
if a user tries to upload an image that already exists in matrix (rather than editing the existing image)
the error displayed is
"Error occured while creating new asset of type 'image'"
Error displayed in backend admin section is
[color="#FF8C00"][font="MS"]
MySource Warning
Unable to create file with name "fig9-s.jpg", web path already exists? [CORE0086]
[color="#000000"]Error message in EES does not really inform the user that the image already exists
[color="#000000"]or give any hint as to what they doing wrong.

Unfortunately the code that runs for EES (the createAsset() JS API call) doesn't get that message back either. What we have done in current development is to provide a small list (3 items) of suggested causes, of which a conflict in web paths is one. Unfortunately it's still up to the editor to interpret the message and figure out which cause is relevant but it's a small improvement on the previous error message.
