I will accumulate a modest number of books and then I add them to a temporary library. I work on the metadata in this small setting. I find it much easier than doing it in my main library. After I am satisfied, I copy them (with delete) to the main library. To this end, I would find it handy to find duplicates before adding to the main library. IOW, I would like to compare two libraries for duplicates. Would there be any chance of the plugin being modified to do this?

Is this a boneheaded way to work? Am I missing something about how Calibre should be used? It's worked well for me so far. It allows bulk metadata edits in a manageable setting.
