This is the way most duplicated appeared: an image has multiple 
keywords, the files were grouped by directories based on keywords, so 
the image ended in multiple directories, each corresponding to one of 
its associated keywords.

All the images without keywords should end in the 'unsorted' category -

Is not easy at all to modify keywords. The best way to help here would 
be to help Bryce implementing the Document Management System.
