Thanks Kovid, I was pretty sure. The documentation didn't mention it.
Is it worth submitting an enhancement request? I'm thinking the semantics would be something like
Code:
calibredb merge [options] id1 id2 [... idN]
Options might include
- --library-path, of course
- -h,--help, obviously
- --version
- setting/adding tag(s) -- user-specified would be nicest, but even a hardcoded 'calibredb-merged-this' would be great
- setting other metadata (tag could be enough, though)
- 'safe' (will refuse if it tries to merge two titles with the same format -- my use case specifically is to merge titles with the same formats, I'm deduping, but I can see value to this)
