I've imported my eBook Library into Calibre (Brilliant tool BTW!) but due to the lack of previous standardisation I've ended up with loads of duplicate entries in the Library.

Is there a way to consolidate the books, e.g. with the same ISBN, into a single folder each?

I've tried moving the ebook from one folder to the other, and the Library does not automatically see the relocated book, but does show 'no formats' for the old entry.

If I blew the Library DB away, and re-imported in bulk woud it sort itself out or would the (nnn) suffix on book names always result in them being seen as seperate books?

As an enhancement req: The saving of a book with the same ISBN should automatically be seen as the same book and saved as an alternate format (or offer to overwrite/delete if that format already exists). Either way it should resolve the duplicates out.
