Adding a file MD5 to the files table. #220
Description
Adding for discussion. I have implemented this on our system already...
The issue is that we end up with multiples of the same files from an external webhook that pushes data to us via a custom API. We of course are addressing the multiples with them, but without a hashing mechanism to determine if the file is already there, we cannot know "for sure" that's its the same one, even if the names are or are not the same.
we actually tend to use the MD5 as the filename on the filesystem, which also prevents duplicates, but in the case of dot project the file store is in the web root and not advised to have a predicable name.
comments?
