I believe the duplicate checking is based on the md5sum and not the image itself. Part of that includes the filename as well. I'm not 100% sure about that as I'm not very familiar with how that works. Ideally, it would be nice if it was done just on the image. Cheers, Stephen PS. I could potentially be making all of this up. I'd have to look at the actual code to be sure. _______________________________________________ f-spot-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
