On linux, IMG_01.JPG and img_01.jpg are different files. But it is not the case with windows. (pun unintended)

So all the processing should be in case insensitive way, to make these scripts cross platform.

It takes a while especially when detecting duplicates.

Currently import script only checks if the same file with the name exists at the target. Instead, it could better do md5 or SHA checksums on the content of the file to decide whether duplicate of the file exists at the target location prior to importing.

This makes this script fails in windows. Avoid system commands though ``.

Just common sense

When the name collision occurs, import-media.rb renames the file, adding _1 while copying it to the target (If a file exists in the target with the same name, but with different content)

But, it adds _1 after the extension. ex: IMG39492.JPG_1

_1 etc should be added before the extension. IMG39492_1.JPG

This is because of the idiosyncrasies of windows as opposed to linux. Linux allows a file to be moved even when in use; while windows does not allow that.

import script currently moves. I want an option to copy instead. The commandline option may be like the following:

ruby import-media.rb [-cp|-mv] /source/path/ /target/path/

-cp | --copy
-mv | --move
