Unique identifier for all my images

[moorpipe]

Once in a while I'll check the database for (functional) inconsistencies. I have a procedure using a special attribute that keeps track of the original filename. It works but is somewhat cumbersome. I want to be totally independent of the file structure, so I was looking for an ID that uniquely identifies an image. Could I use the IMatch Lifetime ID for that? I couldn't find any documentation about it.

Thanks!

In scripts IMatch uses the OID as a unique identifier for each file.
Off the top of my head I don't recall if the OID is available outside of scripts though and to be honest I'm too tired tonight to check. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The lifetime id is a GUID (globally unique identifier) which is assigned to each file in the database. It does not change as long as the file remains in the database. The OID can change.

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to know.
