Occasionally I have a fanfic change titles. The driver sends it as a new book because the save template has changed. I end up with duplicate copies of the book.

Is there a way to have the driver just overwrite the existing matched book despite it being the wrong title?
No.

I've considered it how to handle this, but, the work involved doesn't seem worth it. This has to be done by overriding something in base calibre code, and there isn't a good spot to do it without major changes.

The alternative would be a "move" function in the Kobo Utilities plugin to change the name of the existing file. But, that means a lot of database updates. It is a bit to risky.
