I just noticed the new Dedup feature.
I was wondering - are all duplicates logged in an obvious place, so I can see what work was done? If it doesn't, it should.
Besides that, I think a couple features could make this even better...
1. Add a "simulated dedup" checkbox; this would do everything dedup WOULD do, but wouldn't do it - that way, a user could check to see if a dedup would remove stuff that shouldn't be removed, so they can avoid mistakes. What it WOULD do would be logged for the user, so they can inspect it.
2. For the dedup method, you should add "keep newest modified"; in general, if there are duplicates, I'd want to keep the NEWEST one, not the oldest one. Any reason that wasn't included in the dedup methods?
