In my opinion its enough to use the file path as key and not the file
name. Because if it's really the same file, it doesnt have to be stored
twice.

Files with the same name get the same thumbnail

Bug description:
I have various files with the name folder.jpg, residing in different folders. Their content is all different. When I import them into OpenShot, although they are correct when I drag them to the timeline, they all get the same Thumbnail in the "Project files" pane. I assume that they are stored there with the file name as key. They should be stored with the complete file path and not just the file name to avoid this.

I've attached a screenshot how it currently looks like, they have the same thumbnails, although the files are different

One might think this is a minor issue, but it's not because you can't seperate the files from each other, you don't know which file is which.
