Duplicate detection - "Hash for Duplicates" - does it do anything ?

[Phil Noon <phil noon fairhavenconsulting com>]

Fspot 0.5.0.3, ubuntu 8.10.

I've been looking forward to the new duplicate detection in fspot, but I 
seem to have a problem.

If I try to import a new image twice, the duplicate is detected - good.

However, to enable the existing database for duplicate detection, I need 
to run "Tools->Hash for Duplicates"; this gives a dialogue with three 
buttons:
- execute
- stop
- close

When I press execute there is no feedback at all, no message, no change 
of text on the screen, nothing at all. And fspot does not subsequently 
identify duplicates of the existing images.

Any ideas?
