Double titles of different autors

When I put a number of autors with titles into calibre in one time it respond most frequently that the books are double of already existing. Now it can happen that a title has been used by two different autors.

How can I avoid this problem or can we create in away a key that search not only for equal titles but also at the same time in combination with the autor?

You cannot. The duplicate checking on adding new books only looks at title.

However, it is just a warning - I such a case let calibre store the new book.

Well the one thing you can do is turn on Automerge (which does use title and author for comparisons, rather than title only) in Preferences -> Adding books. If you are concerned about it overwriting when it shouldn't then choose the "Create new record for each duplicate format" suboption, that way you can have manual control over identifying duplicates in your leisure using the Find Duplicates plugin.

Not sure what "realize such a plugin" means - do you mean how difficult is it to get the Find Duplicates plugin installed?

If so then not difficult at all - just Preferences -> Plugins -> Get new plugin and choose it from the list, install and restart calibre. There is a dedicated thread for it in the Plugins subforum.
