Use SHA1 data hash in icon cache paths (Fixes #31)
This patch fixes the issue of many hundreds or thousands of duplicate small files piling up over time in the notify log's icon cache. A common example case where this issue occurs is to have Gmail desktop notifications enabled in a web browser.
GLib-2.64 SHA-1
is faster than both of its MD5
and SHA-256
implementations. If Glib's SHA-256
becomes as fast as SHA-1
then the source can be updated to use SHA-256
instead of SHA-1
, as the software industry is slowly moving away from SHA-1
towards using SHA-256
.
