Ignore duplicates doesn't

I tried using the default uploader today. I created a new gallery, then browsed to the folder with my proofs, then selected all and started the upload.

Due to connection problems, some of the files didn't upload. There's (apparently) no way to tell the uploader to retry those files. So I just deleted all the files from the uploader, selected all the files again, and made sure that "ignore duplicates" was selected.

But it uploaded duplicates. GRRRRRRRRR. I am NOT a happy camper here. :cry You can see the problem here:

The second photo is duplicated. There are other duplicates. Manually deleting these duplicates is going to be a REAL PITA.

Also, unfortunately, the 5 files that were not uploaded were not all in one place (e.g. the last 5 files) so trying to figure out WHICH 5 files are missing and manually selecting them (from the 98 proofs for this photo session) is going to be very time consuming and tedious.

    Hm, we'll keep an eye on this, but I've not seen any reports of this happening elsewhere. Can you please let us know if it happens again? Thanks.
