Hi, just as a question/suggestion: would it not be possible to let the "select duplicates" command (or a new similar command) *display* all duplicates (like a filter) but *select* all duplicate copies except for one by default? Then, if the user does not care for the problem you mentioned, removing duplicates would amount to choosing this command and hitting delete.
