[MIDNIGHT RANT] [FEATURE CHANGE REQUEST] sha512_hash vs original_sha512_hash

Parzival

Alright, so original_sha512_hash is the original hash, obviously. But apparently, sha512_hash doesn’t account for image optimization, according to the documentation. So what’s the difference? And: what’s the point? If you have the original sha512 hash, you had to have had the original image, so the only point of sha512_hash is for filtering (or MAYBE dupe checks but I remember the site having a reverse image search), but if the image got optimized then it’s as good as useless. Nobody is going to go out and find the original image just to filter it. So IMO, sha512_hash shoud be calculated after the optimizing and original_sha512_hash is… pointless.
