If there is a single thing I would really love, it would be a reworked
duplicate image interface.  It takes too many clicks to remove a
duplicate image, making it infeasible to use for anything other than a
very small number of pictures.

You need to click the item in the list, then figure out which pictures
you want you want to delete, then click those pictures , then click
delete, then wait for the file to delete, and only after the deleting
is done can you move onto the next picture.  It could easily take 20
or 30 seconds per set, and if you have thousands of duplicates (easy
if you are trying to merge pictures from two computers with lots of
overlap but different metadata), that could easily be ten hours of
tedious clicking.  This actually is exactly the case I am in right now

Having a single browser for all duplicate pictures, for instance with
each row being a duplicate set, and each column being a folder, would
make it easy to remove duplicates from a particular folder easily and
quickly.
