Incidentally, I've taken to updating my files with a couple of new 'identifiers'.
One is SHA, the other is called 'CRC' but lies a little (it's actually CRC32-<type>-<size>). Your lovely plugin here makes it very easy to reliably dedupe based on this information.
I still use a binary dupe check on occasion to look for files with different extensions (I found one set that had 'XML' and 'SRD' extensions -- one was the actual format, the other indicated the data set), but just having this is very handy.
I can then, in a dedupe cleanup library, present the 'CRC identifier' in the tag browser. They're grouped by first character, giving me 16 groups of CRC values to quickly skim looking for 'more than 1' entries and cull. It's a little more convenient for me than the options built into the plugin.
