#434 Copy for access overwrites files when they have the same name

[Terry O'Neill]

When performing a copy for access where a single item barcode contains multiple files with the same name then the file will be overwritten and only the last will be visible. At the very least the system should warn you this will happen and give you options to rename clashing files.

If there are multiple files with the same name, it is likely that they were originally submitted in some sort of hierarchial directory format. DPR would have flattened out that structure.

I am pretty sure that the metadata contains the original full path name.

The full path should probably be replicated when copying for access

Hi John,

Good that you asked that - I didn't mean to imply that situation when I opened this bug. The functionality you are talking about exists and seems to be working correctly. The isuse I am referring to here is actually more of a rare case that generally would indicate an error. This situation should only occur when either two different jobs use the same barcode number and the same file name and path for that barcode number or when a single job contains the same file name and path for two files on different media both associated with the one barcode number. The first has actually happened and even though it does indicate an error it still should be handled correctly.
