Skip matching records on import

I have a media folder with large files (images, audio, video). I'm using the "Import Folder" option to import the assets and capture the filename, filepath, and thumbnail. However, this media folder is regularly added-to, and I need to be able to occasionally import only the newly added assets.

I'm looking for a way to have FM skip matching records, i.e., records that have already been imported from this folder, instead of updating them (which was the only option I could find for dealing with matching records).

I saw this: http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/209733 but wasn't sure if it would apply to me. I tried it anyways (setting the filename to unique, validate always) and it seemed to work except that FM was still laboring over each file. Ideally it would quickly skip over already imported files.

Open to any suggestions. Thanks.
