[KPhotoAlbum] Unique ID per image?

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

I'm not sure how much work it would be, but it would add extra burden on the 
core part of KPA, namely to ensure that all "database" operations did consider 
this extra field. And given it is not used insite KPA the risk of it breaking 
all the time is pretty bad I'm afraid. So I'm not really keen on adding this, 
sorry.

In KPA the file name is the unique key.

Cheers
