Bug Description

Binary package hint: f-spot

I have a Canon PowerShot A430 which can take video (AVI) as well as photos.

When attaching the camera a second time, duplicate jpegs are skipped but the AVIs are re-imported, with xxx.avi becoming xxx-1.avi

$ find Pictures -name '*.avi' | sort
Pictures/Photos/2009/12/23/mvi_0773-1.avi
Pictures/Photos/2009/12/23/mvi_0773.avi

Pictures/Photos/2009/12/23/mvi_0809-1.avi
Pictures/Photos/2009/12/23/mvi_0809.avi

However they are clearly identical files:

It would be helpful if byte-identical files could be skipped.

Workaround: script to find SHA1 of all files and delete duplicates. Run it manually after importing.
