Hi,

I'd like to know what kind of hash function should I use to calculate new 'file_hash' value. I need to substitute some source clips in my project (clip video, length unchanged, only sound repaired), I've just checked sha1sum (and other sha...) md5sum ...

How to calculate hash for a clip? - to substitute clip in my-project.kdenlive file.

What happens if you just delete the hash value?
I think we should maybe add a option to turn of hashing, as this can also lead to some other problems.

I was also interested in generating .kdenlive from Python, so I wanted to find out about the file_hash. I downloaded the source code and it looks like it's using the beginning and end of the file, not the whole file:

        // ... DocClipBase::getFileHash ...



        if (file.size() > 1000000*2) {

            fileData = file.read(1000000);

            if (file.seek(file.size() - 1000000))

                fileData.append(file.readAll());

        } else

            fileData = file.readAll();



        fileHash = QCryptographicHash::hash(fileData, QCryptographicHash::Md5);
