(1) Kovid's legacy code is an interactive prompted option - and which I thnk it has to be if you are only matching on title. Personally I would never use it due to all the false positives from not comparing authors but fair enough if others find it useful. However my comment is are you saying it will be an "automerge" option to automatically merge on title, or an "automerge" option to not actually automerge and instead be interactively prompted?

I decided to leave the current option that switches between Kovid's legacy code and a newer form of automerge. Legacy code is untouched and remains the default. I've added a combo choice box of Ignore/Overwrite/New Record for
globally dealing with a duplicate incoming format if automerge is on. Everything works as it did before, except you now have global control for what should be done with duplicate incoming formats. You can have them all overwrite or all be added as a new record or all ignored. It only applies to duplicate formats. Non-duplicate formats are added to existing records.
(The interface is done, and overwrite and ignore are done - I've still got some work to do on New Record creation for duplicate records.)

(2) So am I right in saying your list will *not* (as yet at least) include the option that sparked this thread and several others of creating a duplicate book entry for when a duplicate format is encountered, but merge formats where they are missing?

I'm not sure I understand that last part - but perhaps it's clear from the above. It doesn't offer individual book by book control, but does (will) create duplicate records.
