 * Thanks for this wonderful plugin!!!
 * I ran into some problems after I uploaded files via FTP and renamed a Folder.
   
   When I run the synchronisation, it finds some hundred Missing Files and some 
   where it states `Unable to insert item into DB! Duplicate entry 'FileXY.pdf-1'
   for key 'UNIQUE_FILE' (file /path/wp-content/uploads/filebase/unsorted/FileXY.
   pdf)`
 * But when I click on ‘Remove entries from Database’, it doesn’t remove anything
   from the DB, it just shows exactly the same results as before.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Ah, I already discovered how to solve this issue:
    Apparently the arguments in
   the link are to long.
 * I copied the link that you get upon clicking ‘Remove entries from Database’ and
   splitted it into smaller parts so that it deletes each time about 100 items. 
   Initially it should delete more than 800, this was to much to do at once.
