#19 Store image meta-data using md5sums

[Moshe Jacobson]

The current method of storing meta-data for the images
in the system breaks whenever you move directories
around in the actual content, and it is very difficult
to fix.

Would you consider a method whereby meta-data for an
image is stored in a hash indexed into by the image's
md5sum? That way, it would not matter where an image is
located, but wherever it is, it would pull up the
proper data. This would also facilitate situations
where there are symlinks to images elsewhere in the IDS
system, or copies of images in multiple places.

Thanks.

This may be easier if it's using DBM as the storage
container. Keep all that information within one db, in one
location. Using flat text files will be inefficient, so we
may have to look into incorporating some DB module.
