Is there a way to delete duplicates?
Is there a way to delete duplicate images from an album? Is there a way to upload all the images from all folder except the ones that already exist in the album?

I don't know of any way to automatically delete duplicates. The best work-around I can think of is to go to the customize gallery screen, make sure the display of filenames is enabled and then set the gallery to sort by filename. This will group each of your duplicates together, you should be able to easily see them and you can manually delete one of the duplicates in each case.
I don't know of any way to upload only the files that aren't already in the gallery without manually recording which files are already in the gallery and then manually picking the others from your directory on your PC. Another option if you have a copy of your computer of everything you want in the new gallery, then just upload all of the images to a new gallery (do it overnight if you want) and then delete the original gallery.

I have experienced the same problem, and would just suggest that you sort the gallery by date (date and time modified, not date and time taken - because that is what the date that corresponds to file date on a PC), then sort the folder on your pc by date; next, find the last file uploaded in the gallery and select only the files below the corresponding file in the PC folder and upload only those.
This of course won't help you if you like to upload from several folders into one gallery...

1) I'm not aware of an existing way to automatically deleting duplcates - although I think this is something I cna easily come up with soon enough.
2) yes, Star*Explorer can check if the online version already exists and avoid uploading it next time (great for "picture of the day" or other stuff).

You won't have any of those problems with S*E, that's for sure. While the uploads can be interrupted for whatever reason, S*E will keep a persistent reacord what's been uploaded and what not, so you can simply restart the upload and go on. And with the Online Duplicates Verification feature it will stop you from uploading more than one copy into the same gallery.
