Ok, thanks, this works.
Now I'm trying the following: I have these two instances of calibre. By using Winmerge I've pretty much made them equal, just a few loose ends. Also the metadata is not exactly the same in both.
I want to create a new library which is a complete copy of instance nr1 ( This is already done) and now I'm copying nr 2 into this one in batches. This also works fine. Now I use Find duplicates, also fine, but now the problem: how do I simply delete duplicates without having to select each one of them? The libraries are 9500 in size otherwise I wouldn't mind. Again, I'm probably overlooking an obvious action, but in Find Duplicates it starts with one duplicate pair selected. Also can I select which instance to keep and which one to delete?
