Hi Oliver. How are you (:=)))...

I think there is already a file in B.K.O about this subject... Take a look.

Else, why not using a Tags  folder for that. Just tags the image that you want 
to compare, go to this tags folder and press F3 (with 0.9.0-beta2 release of 
course). Reduce sidebar to have a max image size on the screen.

Now change the current image using the mouse wheel. and select the right image 
to remove.
