I've been noticing that in the latest Suicidegirls.com photosets from http://thepiratebay.se/user/DrarbgXXX/ (a pretty prolific uploader), all the image files are named with their MD5 hash instead of their number in the series, as is typical for any photoset. So what's the deal here? Is this a common practice when uploading galleries and the like?
I mean, I get why they'd include it – makes it easier to find the entire gallery from a single image. But because image filenames are usually simply determined by their order. With these, I really have no way of viewing the images in order, though, which is a big buzzkill.
The real question, though, is: are the actual image sequence numbers somehow encoded in this hash, or in EXIF data or something like that, or retrievable at all?
