Hello, BR:
Will look at this tool but I don't think it will be useful for what I'm doing right now. When I download new books, I usually just leave them in a folder until there quite a few of them and I have the time to work with them. When I'm ready, I bring all of them into a temporary library; there I fix the author names and titles and the respective sort fields; I convert them to epub; and insert their page numbers. Then I copy all of them into my main library.
Once in the main library I gradually add and edit their metadata - that's the function I was performing on each new book.
Before, I was creating a virtual library by author so I ccould see all the books by the same author so I could check for duplicates, including books which exist in box sets.
Using the tag browser proved to be much quicker than the virtual library technique and I shall be using it in future.
However, I will take a look at the tool you suggested. I'm always learning about Calibre!!
Thanks for the suggestion!
