Revamped duplicate image UI.  The current one requires at least 4
clicks per duplicate set, which makes  it unsuitable for removing
significant numbers of duplicates:

Port MTP device handling to use the new MTP KIO slave (which should be
in a better state by the summer).  This is particularly important with
android moving to MTP-access-only:

When bluedevil is installed and you are connected to a device
supporting obexftp access, let you download pictures from it like you
can a camera or memory card.  With so many pictures stored on phones,
using bluetooth to get the pictures wirelessly would be very helpful.

Port the image views to use the new file view introduced in dolphin
2.0 (once again, most of the kinks should be worked out by the summer)

In order to support workflows found in most other photo album
software, allow users to create albums (perhaps called "virtual
albums") that do not exist on the filesystem, as well as save searches
and pictures with particular collections of tags as albums as well.
