Hello,

This is my first post here and English is not my first language so be gentle with me

I use the Calibre program for quit some time now, and it works great for me. I import regurly new books in the Calibre program, most of the times in great amounds.

After importing the books into calibre you get a popup where Calibre tells you some of the books are already in the database. And you can add them, or not add the doubles. The problem is that sometimes a name of a book is used by different authors so only the name is the same but the book isn't.

Could it be a possibility that when u import new books and Calibre finds titles that are the same, in a menu you can see of the book is really a double or it isnt. Now you can only add all the books as doubles or none.

Something like this after importing:

Name book: Abracadbra
Author: I.M. Ustread

This title is already in the database

Name Book: Abracadbra
Author: S.O. neelse

Do you want to add this book yes/no

Again sorry for my english but i hope yoy understand what i mean.

Greetings
Frank
