Then use the unique ID in the filename -- it can be anything you like.  
Note that the code field in the TileDesigner data is insufficient as 
there are still duplicates across different games and there are 
different orientations for the same tile number (sometimes even within 
the same game!).  My solution to the latter problem is to have a tile 
id, rotation, and count in the tile manifest table for a game, so there 
can be multiple rotations of the same tile in one game.

A related problem is that some games have had different tile mixes over 
the years, such as some 1825/1829 sets (and maybe 1853).  My solution 
for those is to treat them as different games which happen to have the 
same name.
