Bot doesn't prevent duplicates (files with same content but different names)

[art435]

Normally, people consider duplicates when 2 or more files have the same content. I assumed that this bot will do the same, but this is not the case. The bot will only prevent duplicates that have the same name and same content, but will let pass the files with different names and same content.

The file_unique_id is not suitable for preventing duplicates (same content), only prevents duplicates with same file names and same content. You can check for yourself. Create 2 identical text files (same name and same content, check md5 hashes to be sure).

Upload them to @RawDataBot and check file_unique_id. It will be the same because files have the same name and the same content.

Now keep the same content, only rename files differently. Upload them to @RawDataBot and check their file_unique_id. It will be different, even if the files have the same content.

So the bot can only prevent duplicates in a limited case, when files have the same name and content. It will not prevent duplicates that have same content and different names. This should be made clear, so the users understand the limits of this bot.

I'm wonder if there is another method to prevent duplicates. You know if Telegram stores the md5 hashes for files? It will be useful to use them to prevent duplicates.

As I already stated in the final release of this version, there will be some serious changes in this repo. The same will be considered in another repo that is doing this specific function.

I will wait for new version. I hope that all shortcomings will be resolved. Thank you and have a nice day!
