The plugin needs to be reworked to avoid use of the same mechanism as the Mark books tool.

I have already fixed that issue in a version that I will release soon. The plugin used to mark all exemptions at startup or library change. Now, it only marks them once the user chooses the option to display exemptions, and remove the marks afterwards.

I still cannot reproduce this behavior using either option. I tried both and the plugin always reverts back to my original search preference. I have a general idea of where to look in the code, but without being able to replicate the problem it is difficult to solve. I need some very specific steps like:
  1. What is your original search preference before using the plugin (is it highlight books or restrict the book list to results)
  2. When you use the plugin, which option to tick (all group at once vs. one group at a time)
  3. How do you exit the duplicate search. There are many ways:
    • By pressing clear duplicate result from the plugin drop down menu.
    • By pressing the restriction immediately to the left of the search bar.
    • By pressing the escape key.
    • By resolving all duplicates through merge, delete or exemption
  4. Any other steps necessary to replicate this behavior

Edit: I tried combinations of all the above with no avail.
