Media Sync Matching Wrong Files #2779

Describe the bug
I'm really grateful for the attention to media sync. For the first time, images that are slide objects are showing up on my second computer, but I'm running into an issue where the matching logic isn't working.

I point both of my computers at the same shared Google Drive folder where I store this media. The filenames should be exact matches.

Every image file in Freeshow is being replaced by one file. For example:
"SPBC giving icons white.png" replaced with "SPBC announce-Top Graphic01.png"
"SPBC announce-Bottom Graphic01.png" replaced with "SPBC announce-Top Graphic01.png"

(Sorry to submit several reports back to back. I'm just getting into 1.5.6 as I prep for church tomorrow, and wanting to document what I run into.)

Reproducing

  1. On machine A: create two different images in the same folder (different filenames) and ensure both are added to the media sync folder. Add them to a show as slide objects.
  2. Sync/copy the media sync folder to machine B.
  3. On machine B: open Freeshow and sync the data
  4. Check to see if both graphics synced separately.

Screenshots (Optional)
The bottom two graphics were replaced by the file that is the top graphic on this slide.
