In #3301731: Write a media_duplicates provider for Slideshow Media type we created a media_duplicate provider for the media entity "slideshow". Currently, if the slideshow has the same media entities in the same order, it is flagged as a "duplicate".
We should add additional "duplication condition" settings, to let the user decide, under what circumstances a slideshow entity is flagged as a duplicate. For example: "Flag as duplicate when the referenced entities are included, but ignore the slideshow order".
We could also create a separate submodule of "media_duplicates" to create an interface for other media entity types to inherit this functionality from.
As this isn't totally specific to slideshow, it might also later be added (e.g. as a submodule) to media_duplicates.
Proposed resolution
Create "duplication addition settings" in the media entity type form (/admin/structure/media/manage/slideshow). Each form field should have a boolean checkbox indicating if the field and its value should be included in the checksum creation.

anybodyGreat idea @Grevil!
I think such options should be added to the Slideshow media form: /admin/structure/media/manage/slideshow
Each form field should have a boolean checkbox indicating if the field and its value should be included in the checksum creation.
As this isn't totally specific to slideshow, it might also later be added (e.g. as a submodule) to media_duplicates.
