Title:
  Clips with equal file names from different folders get unique
  thumbnails

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)
  OpenShot: 1.4.2-1 (from ubuntu repositories)

  Importing two files
  /directory1/part.mpg
  /directory2/part.mpg

  these two files get the same thumbnails in OpenShot (yes, even if the
  content differs).

  I guess it's because OpenShot only compares the filename, but not the
  file identity/path.

  It leads to problems as it's hard to identify a file that's not distinguishable in the UI anymore.
  When cutting a movie that's devided to more than one DVD for size reasons, where every DVD has identical file names for the movie clips, I currently rename the files of the second DVD before importing as a workaround; but that should not be necessary.

  
  This seems to be a similar issue like https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/922207 (but it's not the same).
