Preview show old foto's.

To Reproduce

1. Make two directories with foto's eg directory "one" and "two", in the directory place jpg files with the same name.
   one\0.jpg
   one\1.jpg

two\0.jpg
two\1.jpg

2. Load the images with create previews for directory one.
3. Load the images with preview for directory two.

• Now you see the preview from directory "one" instead of directory "two"

Your observation is correct, but I am not sure what to do with it.
I use an image cache which is actually a thumbnail of the original image when opening it for the first time.
I never, ever use images with the same name. I have a large collection of images and I don't want images to have the same name. That is also how photo cameras work (or phones for that matter).
Also: If I need to start registering which "same name" image comes from another folder, I also need to start maintaining "something" in a database.or something alike, which will then again slow down the loading. Or I need to start creating "same name" folders in my image cache, but then how many layers deep? The original 5-15 folders? Or only the last sub-folder?

So for the time being, I will not change this. That is also the label I will give to this issue
An option could be to disable the image cache for users who like to use the same name for images.
If I think of something clever, that label might change.
