Bug Description
Nice tools, but what is annoying is that each time I want to make a transfer, all the older pictures are re-transfered again.
When I'm abroad, I'm transferring daily my shots on my laptop each. I know this is probably not a good idea, but I keep all the pictures on my card until I transfer everything for backup when back at home.
I know that it probably means that a hash should be computed for each picture and stored somewhere.
Thx,
Daniel

This is not a bug. This is how the program works. I'm going to mark this as a wishlist feature, but I also have to make the observation that your workflow could be improved. A better workflow would be to backup your images to another source as you download them. It could be a small portable hard drive, or even a different memory card. The peace of mind this provides is very worthwhile, especially if you travelling, because you can stow the backup solution in a totally different place compared to your laptop & camera.
