If I'm not mistaken a kde photo application (kimdaba) calculates the md5sum of 
each picture, and it uses the md5sum to store information about the picture.  
Initially this is slow as the sum has to be calculated for each file, however 
it comes in handy when the pcitures are moved.  because it is now possible to 
recognize the pictures by their md5sum, at the same time their metadata can 
be reused....
