Hi, quick note to thank you for this plugin (so helpful! I'm especially impressed that you can check duplicates across multiple libraries... so useful!) and to ask a few idalistic (nitpicky?) questions...
-Is there a way to set the duplicates plugin search results to automatically select both (or all) of the results in each set of dupes? I seem to have a lot of trouble getting the selection to include more than the first auto-selected item. Clicking and dragging requires first a click outside the results and then restart within that set of dupes (because drag won't work on that first try), and shift-arrow selecting the second dupe doesn't work because arrows don't work for some reason.
I did figure out that if I right-arrow first then I can down or up-arrow select among results, but still there's a lot of clicking and arrowing and what have you. Wouldn't be a problem for me except that my mouse is on its last legs and wants to double-click every time I click so I'm stuck opening and closing a lot of books when that was never my intention. obv not your problem.
OT probably but maybe you know...is there a reason why the old rule whereby the first-selected of two or more items was the ruler-owner-successor to merges when you choose to merge duplicates? I seem to have reverted to a calibre where the uppermost in a list of dupes is what wins out and it seems that a) rarely is that the one I wanted and b) any of my attempts to resort the list so that the record I want to be the ruling metadata for the merged group... either doesn't achieve the desired affect or causes all the duplicate groups to be un-grouped and now just a list of books in a window... so I don't know how to get back to the grouped dupes without having to re-run the plugin.
Back to kudos - this plugin has saved me so much time in the last week its unbelievable. thank you again for creating it and making it available.
