No, the FuzzyOCR plugin's hash system isn't a checksum of the sort you're describing. It's just a collection of "image features" glued together--things like the dimensions, colour depth, number of unique colours, the most used colours, and so on. It offers no guarantee of uniqueness, but it does a pretty good job. The kind of centralized hash database you're asking about could conceivably be built around this kind of hash as well, provided the client and server tools were developed to use this custom format (rather than ordinary mathematical hashes). -- Robert LeBlanc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Renaissoft, Inc.
