how to tell iphoto 5 not to import duplicates?

I wanted to import photos in iphoto 5 but it doesn't pop up a dialog box asking if I wanted to import duplicates unlike my previous version. How do I make iphoto show this dialog box again?

Try deleting the preferences for iPhoto

You will find them in your home folder > library > Preferences

You are looking for com.apple.iphoto.plist

Drag it to the desktop and launch iPhoto

A new pref file will be created with default settings.

Hey Mr Macfixit, you're a genius, I have been looking for weeks to end the problem of duplicates, even downloaded Duplicate Annihilator, which helped a bit, but didn't resolve the problem everytime I imported new photos - but this - yay!!! Sooooo simple. Thanks a million
