--- Comment #7 from Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> ---
The UUID (hash) used by digiKam is in the database, as is the image ID. What is
the purpose of this information in the metadata? Other programs use other
methods to create a UUID from the file. The UUID also doesn't help us to
recognize files more easily. We have to calculate a new one anyway when
importing, because the file may have been modified externally in the meantime.

The image UUID in the metadata is a random UUID to make it more unique the
current database UUID (hash) is also appended. This UUID is only used to
resolve an image processing history.
