[Midas] duplicate filename items?

[Michael Grauer]

Hi Mona,

Can you describe how you are getting to this and what the exact problem
would be with how your users would interact with Midas when they encounter
this situation?

I just tested with a Midas 3.2.8 instance.  I could upload a file into a
folder where an item "item1.txt" already existed with that name, using the
Midas web UI uploader, and the new item was created as "item1.txt (1)".  I
also tried this with the latest version of Pydas (0.2.24), and again the
item name had a numeric suffix, "item1.txt (2)".  Once I had these items in
the folder, I was able to change their names using the edit action on the
Item so that all of the item names were the same.

Thanks,
Mike
