Hello all.

When I'm adding book file into library, Calibre checks it by book name. If this is PDF file (name stored in file structure), the program tells, if this is copy of the same file (even then book has other file name). But if book in DJVU format and same file has another name, the program add it as new record into database and into file system.

Is it possible to check the uniqueness of the book file in another way (maybe by comparision of control sum, such as MD5)?
