It seems that the duplicate book finder plug in finds books with duplicate tags.

For me, the reverse functionality would be more useful: identifying duplicates that are the same book from their binary content, but MAY have different tags (or could be the same).

The duplicate file finder utilities I have seen DO NOT recognize a duplicate file when the tag changes, otherwise I would run files through a de-dupe software BEFORE adding.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
