It's a shame that I can't use tow features that make a computer super useful (telling when things are identical and telling when they are nearly identical) to automate a task instead of doing it by manually clicking, but I have cobbled together a different solution and created a new calibre library that is free of duplicates in several orders of magnitude less time than it would have taken me to manually sort through the dupes in calibre.

Still, it seems a shame that "this might not be safe" is treated as "No, no matter what, you'll have to do this the hard way". Sure, put up warnings, but if I want you to automatically-merge anything with identical titles and names without starting over, let me.
