What screen are you referring to? I'm planning a confirmation screen that lists the surviving record and the records that will be deleted.

The Dialog.. Thanks.
Can you have a "Confirmation" Dialog on another Dialog? (was not allowed on the last language (now dead) I used )

In my head .. .but basically, they select the surviving record first (the one all others will be merged into), then the records that they want merged into the surviving record. A check is made that all least two records have been selected, a confirmation screen appears, and upon confirmation, the second and subsequently selected records are merged into the first selected, then those records are removed.
I haven't decided if I'll overwrite the "Same format" if it already exists. I think not, since Kovid didn't like that in my code for adding new books to existing records (although I still sort of like that feature and have kept it for myself). I also haven't decided if i should merge any metadata from deleted records. If the kept record has no cover or comments or rating, but the merged records have that info, I may merge it in. (Comments on this appreciated).

The same format issue is my peeve with the current Calibre. What is the
Date of the
format in the Library? They may not be the same as the original record (add) date. Oh for a "Properties" inspector in the Meta-data browser :sigh: (Treat as black box, Except....)
Thanks for your efforts
