@Starson - yes that's a good point we haven't discussed for a while.

Of course the downside for people who haven't done this before they add books to their library is how to actually resolve the problem if they then run an external tool, as if they do a direct delete out of the calibre folders they end up with orphaned Calibre database records.

I agree with you in that there should be no reason under "normal" circumstances it would be necessary. That "unknown author, unknown title" situation however sounds rather horrific!

I wonder what the best way to integrate that into the dialog would be? Perhaps there should be a new set of radio buttons across the top of "Title/Author", "ISBN", "Binary compare"?

Would an appropriate implementation be to use the hashlib sha256 stuff or something else?
