Yes, MD5 is not the best solution we have.

I'm not sure about exposing the original source path. Although it's true
that it could be a sensible information, I don't think it's more
sensible than the content of a file itself.

If a user wants to transfer an image (e.g. from /home/phablet/Pictures/secret_projects/patent_no82399.png) to another app (which is an unknown malware), that app could anyway read the content of the image and upload it somewhere on the net (supposed that the app uses "networking" and "content-hub" policies).
The malware can't access the original source anyway, so the only information it can get from it is that there's a specific path in the FS.
Things change a little bit if the malware is unconfined. But in that case, it could already sniff at all the images without need any further information from content-hub.

Title:
  Music files are imported into the Music app, rather than simply opened

Status in File Manager application for Ubuntu devices:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently the File Manager uses Content Hub to send audio files being
  "opened" to the Music app. However, the files are actually imported
  when sent via Content Hub. This causes duplicate entries of the files
  if they are "opened" from the user's Music directory. The imported
  files will get stored to the user's $HOME/Music/Imported/mm/dd/
  directory.

  It'd be better if the File Manager used the "file:///" URI handler
  when prompting the user to "Open with" the Music app.  Any use of
  Content Hub to send files to the Music app should be made clear that
  the action will import the song rather then just open the current
  location.
