Uploaded today as Ticket 5174.


Adds Merge books option to right click and toolbar. Select a first book, then books to merge into it. Formats and metadata are merged into the first book. No data or formats in the first book (destination) are overwritten (unless author or title are "Unknown").

Tags and comments are concatenated unless they match. Author and author_sort are moved as a unit, as are series and series_index. ISBN is not merged (my preference - easy to change).

Subsequently selected books (source) may be removed after merge or left untouched (safe merge). By safe merging into an empty book, a book and all its formats may be duplicated (useful to play around with format1->format1 conversions without risking the original format). Highlighting always remains on the selected books after normal and/or safe merge.
