Approx. Time remaining

#177

I was using DupeGuru I and I noticed something was missing, and then I thought it would be nice to have "approx. time remaining" while DupeGuru scans for duplicates.

I don't know how hard it is to add "approx. time remaining" while DupeGuru Scans.

    I suspect that an attempt to do that would end up like Windows' estimates. There are multiple phases (each not going at the same speed) to the scanning process, so basing estimate remaining time on previous speed would be flawed.

    I guess it would be possible to have correct estimates, but it would take way too much effort for what it's worth.

    No problem, I didn't know how much effort if would take.
