@BetterRed...Thank you. I will now check out the Author Links. I'm still a bit unclear about the linking between libraries. I guess my main question would be, is there a way to copy to library, or an import go faster using a feature that has until now not been available?
As far as de-duping. I wish that was my only problem. Somehow -I don't know if it happened when I linked my two laptops onto a family network, and attempted to bring old Calibre info from one into the other -but I ended up with a library that "lost" every download from March to January. EVERY ONE. This was AFTER I screwed up my libraries. The reason why I was attempting to gather the books from the old computer. It has the original dates for the books.
I was in a situation where I was attempting to restore a few libraries (or at least have a single one with all the books and meta) and went hunting for untouched books in an old computer, and dragged God knows how many different versions of the same book and threw them into one folder. I went through the trash, through the Drop Box, through The Amazon Cloud, all my downloads, etc. I amassed 23,000 books. This is my official "bad" library. I know I don't have 23,000 books, so this is where the auto-merge would come in handy. I find that having a mess of "backups" just makes things more difficult. The KISS method really should be applied here.
Thanks for putting it in terms I understand.
