 * hi,
 * when an image is added to the media library and then inserted into two different
   posts, the filegallery shortcode lists this image twice. no matter where the 
   shortcode is included.
 * physically, the image is only present ONCE in the media library, but the fact
   that it has been “assigned” to two posts results in a duplication when the shortcode
   has been rendered.
 * is there a setting or any way to prevent this duplicate issues?
 * thanks heaps!

 * if you’re using WordPress 3.4.2 or earlier, there’s a setting on the media settings
   page that you can check: “Filter out duplicate attachments (copies) when browsing
   media library?”
 * if you’re using WordPress 3.5 or above, it’ll be fixed soon.
