Re: Revamped Duplicates Patch

[Randall Smith <randall tnr cc>]

Did this or something similar ever make it in?  I prefer to manage my 
camera syncs and directory structure separate from the f-spot.

I wrote a script that imports into a structure like this:

    2006/01/01/
    2006/01/02/
    etc ...

If I add some new photos without f-spot's knowledge, I'd like to be able 
to import from the parent directory and not produce duplicates.
