review duplicates and bursts

clean up with control

send rejects to the macOS Trash, or keep only the RAW or JPEG from matching pairs. undo during the open session while files remain in Trash.
organize

Organize Source Folder arranges media by date, rating or camera. preview and confirm each plan; undo during the open session.
