Problem/Motivation

Add a checkbox in the configuration 'skip existing files'.
If checked then while bulk uploading, items should be skipped if a file with the same filename already exists

    DOES media_duplicates work in conjunction with this module, i.e. will it prevent duplicates being created during a bulk upload?

    If not, I think the ability to use some method, given a folder, whether file name or checksum would be great. One use case of the bulk upload is that people have media organized into various folders by some category, and do not want them put in year_month folders, as that does not make them easy to find at all. So, once the bulk upload of existing media in their existing folders has completed, what happens when more images are added to those folders? That's when it becomes important to be able to upload from a folder and either filter based on date added being after a certain date or have some means to avoid the previous items from being added again.
