ID 567754 - From Editorial: Publish back can time out if original panel artwork has many layers

Follow

Problem summary
Flix recalculates hashes for panel artwork when publishing back from editorial even though the artwork does not change, which adds a lot to the import time if the artwork hashes are slow to calculate.
Additionally, we always calculate hashes for all layers even though we only use the flattened image hashes to compare images, which essentially multiplies the import time by the number of layers.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a lot of SBP panels with many layers
  2. Import into Flix
  3. Send to Avid
  4. Make an update to all panels, for example add any effect Add a supported 3D warp to all panels (2024-02-26)
  5. Publish back to Flix

Expected behaviour
The number of layers does not affect the time to publish back.

Actual behaviour
The publish time grows with the number of layers on the original SBP panels.
 
Workaround
