Description

Follow these steps to reproduce:

Access a project in XNAT with multiple subjects that have multiple resources with the same name (e.g. T2.nrrd).
Doubleclick on a resource data to download and open the image.
Select another patient and doubleclick on the image with the same name to download and open the image.
MITK opens the first(!) image again, the second one won't be displayed at all!
Even in the specified download folder, the second image won't show up. It will therefore not even be saved on the computer!
This problem will even "survive" a complete restart of MITK. The only workaround is to manually delete all data from the local download folder.

Conclusion: It is NOT possible to load 2 or more files with the same name from XNAT.

User gaehlert has pushed new remote branch:

bug-19630-XnatNoFileDownload

[483a25]: Merge branch 'bug-19630-XnatNoFileDownload'

will save the images downloaded by Xnat corresponding to the server-side folder structure.

This will fix the problem that MITK will not download and open a file if the user had already downloaded another file from Xnat with the same name.
