Dup detection

[Bill Moseley <moseley hank org>]

Ubuntu 8.10 / f-spot 0.5.0.3


I'm setting up f-spot for someone and imported their entire "My
Documents" folder from their old drive.

The "Detect duplicates" item was checked on the import dialog, yet I
ended up with many duplicates.

Here's a few examples in the f-spot database:

sqlite> select uri,md5_sum from photos where uri like '%visit17%';
file:///home/dawson/Photos/2002/07/27/visit17.jpg|NxQax6OOx2UrTYXuegNDjA==
file:///home/dawson/Photos/2002/07/27/visit17-1.jpg|Dpa4apwy/Wguf2VD+UTXog==
file:///home/dawson/Photos/2002/07/27/visit17c.jpg|KRaGglvxVYNTbsj6IhkEFA==
file:///home/dawson/Photos/2002/07/27/visit17-2.jpg|Bb9Lspcs+WWOt2HiQKf0Xw==

Yet the md5's of the photos match:

$ md5sum Photos/2002/07/27/visit17*.jpg
4b09e7c7cf223687a9d2727230c2c5a4  Photos/2002/07/27/visit17-1.jpg
4b09e7c7cf223687a9d2727230c2c5a4  Photos/2002/07/27/visit17-2.jpg
4b09e7c7cf223687a9d2727230c2c5a4  Photos/2002/07/27/visit17c.jpg
4b09e7c7cf223687a9d2727230c2c5a4  Photos/2002/07/27/visit17.jpg

Clearly, the md5's in the database are not just the file contents.


Am I misunderstanding how that feature is suppose to work?
