Original Redmine bug id: 3684
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3684
Searchable id: yorba-bug-3684
Original author: Eric Gregory
Original description:

The “hide already imported†feature on the import page only checks file
size and filename for RAW and video files. (This is because we don't always
get a thumbnail back from GPhoto for these file types.)

But there's a problem with this -- if the original file was renamed, it won't
find the duplicate. In Shotwell we rename files if another file already exists
in the same folder.

Example:

Let's say I have a video called yorba.avi. On the import page, we check and
discover file named yorba.avi that has a different file size. But actually
there's another file named yorba_1.avi, and it's the same file. We don't check
against this one, so we erroneously do not hide the file.

It's not clear to me at the moment exactly what the fix for this should be, if
anything.
