• extremely fast
• duplicate file handling
  • skip duplicates
  • copy duplicates to separate folder
• preserve original files and file names
• uses optional Exiftool for higher precision exif readings (just install and make sure exiftool is in your path to benefit from this)
• Photos are not renamed unless a file already exists with that name e.g. IMG_1.jpg will be renamed to IMG_1_1.jpg.
• recursively scan directory for new photos
