Ehhh, well, the software I use generates and can perform operations on a
file's md5, but not (that I know how to do, at any rate) search for
similar images by comparing the filename to the md5. Also, when
casually browsing the drive from explorer, md5-as-filename isn't the
most user-friendly option. My original problem was whether or not to
include redundant data in a filename and its path...which I already do
for manga, so that question is more or less answered for the sake of
uniformity, as well as the fact that if I post a single image to a
bulletin board, it only refers to the filename, not its path.
