Hello.

I was pointed to this amazing forum to find answers to my problem

I need to identify which sha1 hash in collections.json file in Kindle belongs to which ebook file.
I understand the hash is generated from the path to the file in Linux file system. However, there is some step in the process that Kindle uses, when handling spaces and dashes? I am unable to obtain the proper hashes. I have tried many online tools, and kindle collections, but none of them generated the right hashes.

For example for the path to: /mnt/us/documents/Orwell, George/1984 - George Orwell.mobi

the corresponding hash should be: f20904d7-b190-40f0-96a5-ea79b73a9997

Is there any online tool or a simple script/program that really works? Or am I doing it wrong?

Thanks for any useful advice/help!
