Hello guys,
I am using calibre as an e-book/e-documents for many years.
Now I am facing a new challenge:
I merged two libraries (medium size, both). The new resulted library contains more duplicates than I expected initially.
The problem:
I run binary compare to find real doc duplicates (without option to delete duplicates formats during operations). The result is a quite big list/groups.

Can I save the result for processing the metadata/formats merge AFTER, without need to rerun the duplicate finder again (my this case is a long operation (the library is medium size 500GB and ~200k entries))

Any help/suggestion welcomed

Thanks for your time!
