This way only new files are shown in the list. It would make it a lot easier to update SyMenu with a bunch of newly added item/programs.

It's a really difficult task to accomplish. In my personal configuration I have several duplicate programs. For example I need different configuration for the same program or different program version. On the other hand I could have duplication unidentifiable automatically. Think about two program that have different executable name but are essentially the same (for example program1.exe and program1portable.exe). Well I don't tell you that this task is impossible but that the approach to the problem, in my view, should be different. 1) SyMenu needs this feature extensively even for configuration out of control like mine (hundreds of programs configured...). So the Catch-the-duplicates features should be callable independently from the batch importer. 2) It has not to be an automatic cleanup feature but a sort of report. In that way the system can report without risk all the duplications: the certain ones and the suspected ones. In the second group the system can report the rare cases in which two programs with different names are the same. With the report the user can decide if a duplication is a real one or not and cleanup by himself. Problem. Since months I'm working on a new feature for SyMenu that I think could be released during the first months of 2015 so I have no time for that for a while. Solution. All the information needed for this kind of report are already available through the SyMenu plugin system. So if a .NET developer wants to implement the Catch-the-duplicates feature immediately, let me know. I could collaborate with the analysis and documenting the API to call.
