--- Comment #13 from Albert Astals Cid <aa...@kde.org> --- (In reply to David Hurka from comment #12) > Every time I open a document, Okular checks whether the file > “<size>,<filename>.xml” exists. Is that different to checking whether the > file “<hash>.xml” exists? > > Or do I understand something wrong? My answer was to pbs3141 that was suggesting something different as far as I understand. I don't like the idea of identifying the docdata exclusively by hash. Hashes by definition will have collisions, so will have filenames+filesize, but it's much easier to explain that two documents "share" their docdata because of that (and if the user actually has two files with the same filename and size and are not the same, she can rename one of the files) than the fact that if they share the hash of the first N bytes, which is something that no one "normal" can really understand and if even they understand they can't fix it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
