Using the file path or just the file name is not an option (the path may 
change, the name may be used for more than one ISO). MD5 is unacceptable

The import feature isn't strictly related to the way how media is 
indexed (we use the disk registry because we need centralized media 
management) -- in either case, the click-n-go approach is just a matter 
of implementation. This feature is planned for one of future releases.
