// FilteredDeleter deletes all files in the target folder, which does not exist in the source folder. 
// It only looks at file names and ignores file extension. 
 
// It solves a niche problem for me, after photographing big events. 
// I shoot JPG+RAW. RAW files are enormously slow to flip through. 
// Thus, when I manually cull the set - throwing out all unusable photos - 
// -I only look at the JPGs. Leaving me with:
//    -a (source) folder of curated (JPG) files (<1000s of files, <10GB)</li>
//    -a (target) folder with *all* (RAW) files (>1000s of files, >50GB)</li>
// This program deletes all the unneeded RAW files.
