Hi Marcel,

I disagree with the closing of this bug. Please read again my comments (the
prose at the end of)  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215486#c4

This "feature" assumes too much about the OS, nothing guarantees that the uuid
will remain the same during the timeperiod of any collection's life. The uuid
is simply not able to uniquely identify the collection.

Relying on the kdelibs (solid I presume?) is also not robust, especially
regarding low level stuff like uuid's. 

It's like you're identifying cars by the composition of the metal used for the
wheel-hubs, where you should be using the number-plates (they're stuck on as
well!)

Cheers

Simon
