Digikam has powerfull search funtcion, which finds duplicates in albums. Nice
feature to have would be to *do* something after the search with the images.
The most obvious action could be: delete the duplicates, but the list could go
on to different scenarios. 

This is the real example which occured after I have imported from the mobile
camera 1000 photos  which could be imported previously, a years ago. They have
different file names of course, so from filesystem point of view they are
different. I would like to clean my albums, but in automated way and wonder
what is possible.

Seems a bit difficult to me. How can an automated process decide which one of
two identical images to process (delete or whatever)? Of course you could set
the threshold to 100% and then say it doesn't matter, just process one of them.
But 1. your search result gets very small with 100% and 2. the process would
still need a rule to decide and that will most likely not match everybody's
needs.
