Description Haran Shivanan 2005-06-23 16:19:24 UTC 
When importing files, if the file is a link to another file, check if the
original file has already been imported before adding it to the database.

Other information:
This is a somewhat serious issue because in the catalog, two copies of the file
are stored even though its only one file and a soft-link to the file. So if you
try to delete one of the duplicates, the other image is also deleted (even
though it shows up as a thumbnail still)

This appears to be a duplicate/sub-bug of 305734.
Comment 2 Gabriel Burt 2005-09-08 23:16:13 UTC 
Duplicated detection that would solve bug 169646 will solve this too. Instead of
using EXIF-matching or MD5 hash matching to detect, it would be faster to, as
Haran said, check if it's a link and if the path it points to is already in the db.
