Question. If I edit all my pictures with this, making sure the pictures that are shared by my and manalive's packs have exactly the same names and paths. When someone downloads both packs and gets an inevitable prompt to override, will it just override these duplicate images? Or every folder with the same name!?!?

Wait... is one of the skintones Bark? Ahahaa, you'd have spotted this without me. But for a second I was thinking "Is this dryad skin.."

Was one concern, right now this could lead to overwriting of different portraits.Instead of an incrementing number at the end, I'm thinking of a partial hash of the image instead. If it's the same image, it'll be identical, and so if it overwrites it should only overwrite an identically tagged identical image.  

I used this with my maid pack, take a look at the files etc to see how to comes out

Overwriting identical images that are identically tagged is ideal :)

I'm going to add a "£" to the name of any of my portraits that are not shared by other packs, to prevent any shenanigans. so that anyone can easily find and delete images from my packs if they want to.

New version, adds CRC32 to the end of the file, will avoid any overwrites.

That'll make it even simpler for portrait pack creators. Don't have to worry about overwrites at all.

Should we avoid putting the exact same picture in multiple authors packs from now on then?
