I was looking at some of the images (cover art i had) in the MC Default folder and alot of them were the same image but with Dif Filename.
Also you may be collecting Images Within Media Center And Some Of Them May Be Dups Also.
So I Wrote A Program (As Part Of Another Project) That Took A Batch Of Image Files (8000+) And Checked Them Out And Created A MD5 Hash For The Image. I Also Made The Program Rename The File To The MD5 Hash.
By the Way I added about 8000 Or so Textures\Seamless Textures To My Site
www.spartasoft.com (They Are Free) That i Used to test the program on, And if you look at them you will see what i mean about the file names also see below at the sample.
I was thinking that this could be used in a plug-in that would change the names of your art (if you did not like all the wasted space) and it would update the paths in MC11 to One of the images. the rest of the images that were dups would be deleted.
Just wondering if anyone would or could use something like that?
Maybe With A Undo Rename
Like
Orginal File Name:
5th Dimension, The - The Very Best Of The 5th Dimension.jpg
New File Name:
4B093D3F0FFDE726B23FE98D952F3993.jpg
If you have a use for it Or any ideas let me know and maybe we can talk about it in the 3rd party forum.
