I didn't hear anything further after suggesting:
Is it happening when you add stories manually by URL, or by IMAP fetch?
If IMAP, do you have the email notice that resulted in the duplicate?
If you mark it unread will it happen again?
What site(s)? Are they exactly exactly identical by identifiers:url?
If so, does an further update by URL attempt fail with "More than one identical book by Identifier URL"?
What language do you use with calibre? |
Okay. A few questions I can answer now:
* My calibre language is English.
* What site is difficult to answer. AO3 and ffnet, seemingly, and maybe tthfanfic.org - but that's a crapshot answer, since those are the only 3 sites I ever use.
* Yes, they are exactly identical by identifiers:url - it's part of why I even noticed: I did a cursory "find duplicate - identifiers:url" in my calibre library, found about 20+ of them, all of them dated for after 13th of December, and wondered. I suppose that was after a new fanficfare plugin update? And then the next time I was updating, I actually looked at the log and saw it was *adding* the fics instead of *updating*, thought I'd accidentally chosen the wrong option, did not add those fics but rather started the update chapters progress again, and then it came out it wasn't me mischoosing but fanficfare actively choosing to add the stories instead of chapter updating.
* I *think* it might have been both with the IMAP fetching and normal url downloading, but I seriously cannot say. I'll have to pay more attention the next time I download, because to my annoyance, I've been noticing this since about the 20th of December and still keep forgetting to start calibre in debug mode or take the necessary detailed notes on each update.
As mentioned before, there is some inconsistency in this whole thing (like which site, when, etc.), but that might be just because I wasn't paying enough attention.
I'll try to pay as much attention as possible this time and get back to you with a bit more info in a few days.
Thank you kindly.
