1. But if you delete using the delete key, the entry is deleted, but the files actually remain in the database, and show up as "Extra Titles" when you run "Check Library". Surely this isn't right. If you use the "Remove Books" button, they are deleted cleanly.
2. As I said in my original post, it isn't duplicates that are identified while adding books that are the problem. A book added as, say "London", may easily have duplicates in the database, but it is only when the meta data is created that you can see whether the "London" that you added is the "Rough Guide" (say) that you already have loaded, and not the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide that you haven't previously loaded. In the first case, I will want to remove or merge it - in the latter, I will want to keep it, but now it is too late to find whether it is matched in the database or not.
Not a problem when you're dealing with one or two books, but when you have many books in Calibre, it's a problem.
3. How can Calibre locking up when one of it's features causes it to lock up not be a problem?
Please explain.
