A progress bar of sorts giving an indication how long a search will take
would be a nice improvement, especially when searching large partitions
with many duplicates spread all over the place ;)

I can't see how to figure out how much processing is required ahead of time?
Comment 2 by pixelbeat, Jan 12, 2009
I guess approximate and break it into stages.

The first 10% attributed to getting the number of files to process.
I.E. processing the file meta data, including filtering out files
with a unique file size.

Then I could increment from 10 - 80% with feedback from md5sum processing.

Then the last 10% for other stuff.

The feedback from each stage though would be quite invasive, so not an easy
feature to implement at all. I'll think about it.

I think what would be nice is feedback of any kind.

What files it is touching, and the tasks it is performing.
