I like the idea of a duplicate finder. Very much so. Hopefully it would fix a problem which I have, where I've got several versions of the same book (for example, from the Baen Free Library and the Baen CDs) and they're showing up as separate entries. They are sometimes, though not always, different file types. I'd like to merge them, or at the very least get rid of the spares without having to hunt them down individually.
The way to handle your "scratch" area with tags is easy:
1. Select your whole library, tag it [processed]
2. Import your new books.
3. Select all books that don't have a [processed] tag
4. As you edit each book's metadata, give it a [processed] tag when you're done
5. Repeat 4 until you run out of unprocessed books.
By the way, zenocon, welcome to the nuthouse! Nice to meet you -- and it's great to have someone dropping in and, instead, of saying "calibre doesn't do what I want, you must change it!" saying "I need calibre to do more things, here, want this code?"
