1) I have restart Calibre without reinstalling.

2) I have sorted the library by date and they were not there.

3) I know the time is there but I want to see it. It will solve once and for all the problem of multiple batch of books added the same day. In the actual scenario I can't recognize where one batch end and where another starts.

4) Can't understand why the precise adding time is better for you than the batch adding time (one and for all). The former doesn't give us any usefull information, the latter let us identify the latest batch.

5) File Hash + Duplicate tag is the complete solution for any problem. When a duplicate file hash is found you have 99.99999999% chance you have a duplicate. Using other tools complicate things too much as new files needs the duplicate library to be rebuild, even for one file added.

The final solution is:

File Hash duplicate check -> Ask for deletion.
Then:
Start the current Tag based duplicate check.

Berlieve me when I say your library will never have duplicates and believe me when I say this solves the Calibre Crash problem that generates duplicates. If the TAG library crashes and you have 100 "unknown - Unknown" books the tag mechanism won't work while the hash mechanism will find 100% of them, either checking against existing books or if you restart the batch, against new added books.
