This is exactly how I am using it

I am aware of your Find Duplicates plugin, and I have used it extensively when cleaning my database, but this is a little bit better for my workflow.

I will see what answer I get regarding inclusion into main tree and then I might try to turn this into a plugin, so I do not have to modify Calibre every time there is a new version.
