There is no check on the individual books structure nor for such things as having an author listed as AW Snow, A.W. Snow, A. W. Snow, Alan W Snow, etc. which are items that could be detected and fixed from within calibre.

All I see is Deletable. I don't want to delete anything.
extra formats: I often have extra files that are generated when I convert from EPUB to DOCX then after additional alteration I print PDF to the folder. There are many instances why I may have an additional file or 2. Maybe its good, maybe it isn't. But blanket deleting is definitely not what I'd like to do.
Optimal Solution: Instead of simply opening the book file folder from Scan Library window, open the Calibre record, so i could drag the book into the appropriate record. Or just let me mark the files and deal with it from the library.
extra titles:
<<Extra titles: These are extra files in your calibre library that appear to be correctly-formed titles, but have no corresponding entries in the database.>>
I have
not idea why they are extra, i know the books, they are in correctly-formed folders with metadata and covers, and surprisingly there is quite a number of these. I'd like to have a chance of investigating them instead of deleting. Also, if they are properly corrected titles,
why delete them
instead of re-adding them to the library?
extra authors same thing, when i click from Check Library to open Extra Authors, I find full books with metadata. I don't want to delete them. Naturally, if they are not in the database, then they cannot be "marked", but I would want to maybe COMPARE them with existing library for Duplicates, or just re-add in bulk.
Obviously I can do it all manually. Just takes a lot longer and encourages my OCD. lol
