Issue with stored Hashes when File locations change #19

I ran into problems when using stored Hashes:
It happens that I move files from a common download folder (for example ...\download\image123.JPG, Size A, Date Y) to a new location. When I then download new images, it also happens that a new file has exactly the same file name as the moved file (...\download\image123.JPG, Size B Date Z). Problem is that now the hash DB picks the hash from the old file instead of creating a new hash from the new file and therefore makes wrong matches. (Pretty dangerous, if you use delete action without checking before!!)
One solution could be to use a more elaborate index (like Path, Date, Size) instead of Path only.
