When I download books/magazines I put them all in the main Calibre library. I then go through and transfer any that relate to one of my sub-libraries. If there are a few to transfer I go through and highlight them. When selected are highlighted I right-click one of them. select copy to library, select the sub-library I want and choose the 'delete after copy' option.
This may comes back and tell me there are duplicate books in the sub-library. What I want is for this response to highlight in the main library those books/magazines that have struck a duplicate in the sub-library. Otherwise the problem arises if there are many duplicates that I have to try and remember a long list of say magazines which disappears when I decide to close the transfer. I need to delete from the main library as they are already in the sub-library.
I know the alternative would be to download relative books directly to the sub-library and letting it tell me about duplicates which I then do not download them. The trouble of this option is that it can be very hard to decide prior to download whether a book/magazine belongs to either one sub-library or another eg WWI or WWII .

As far as I know, if you are in the main library and use "Find Duplicates" in the main library, the plugin itself mark the duplicated libraries and they are selected they alone in the main library. Mine does it, at least.
