I'm implementing media support for F-Droid now, and one question I have is what we should use for the unique ID for each media file. With Android apps, it is easy: the "package name" is a requirement for being an Android app. A couple of quick thoughts:
* use the hash of the media file as the unique ID, that guarantees uniqueness, but is not human readable and might hide when the same file has really tiny modifications like date metadata or something * use the filename, that could easily conflict with other files but would represent when the same file has slight changes that are not rarely meaningful to the user (e.g. different timestamps in the internal metadata) * something else generated from some combo of title/filename/hash/creator/etc. .hc _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
