A behavior I've noticed with the 6.16 update is that calibre now adds a book's subtitle to the title when adding a book. This is a personal quirk of mine, but I like to keep my books from Standard Ebooks updated (They update their books VERY frequently!), and I use the "Find Duplicates" plugin to quickly identify and delete the duplicates after I add the updated books. Now, since this this new behavior started, a book with a subtitle and the same book without the subtitle read as different books, so I can't use the "Find Duplicates" plugin. Is there a way to tweak calibre to just use the title instead of both title and subtitle when adding a book?
