Question about recent change when adding potential duplicates
I tried searching on this first, so I apologize if I've missed this already being covered.
I noticed that "recently" (meaning, it didn't always do it, but I don't exactly remember when it changed), when I add new books to calibre, it not only offers the book title, but it includes the author name.
However, I find that I don't always really have duplicates by author. So it seems to only be matching on book title.
That might be how it's designed to work - and I've used calibre long enough that I know to allow them all to import and to doublecheck the potential duplicates manually - but I think it could be misleading to a new user. It looks like it's actually matching on both title and author, which could lead to someone thinking they've already imported a book, when they really didn't.
It's not a huge thing unless the user is the type to delete the original after they think they've imported it into calibre.
So my question is: is it intended to work that way (only match on title, even though it lists both title and author?
If so, I'd like to suggest it might be misleading. I suspect it was requested to have the author added, so there might be a good reason for it, but if I had a choice, I'd prefer it not to offer the author name (or to remind me, with the duplicate warning, that it's only testing on title, I suppose).
