The only 'fix' the plugin can do is to mark a duplicate group as an 'exemption' so that it doesn't get reported in subsequent runs of the plugin - but using that option can lead to confusion regarding Marking of books.

So what do you mean by "using this to fix issues all day"

Sorry for being unclear, I used it to find issues, then corrected them by fixing the discrepancies in author and title sorts that it was picking up on, and deleting the outright duplicates as I found them. When I was done, I re ran the plugin, and they seemed to be gone. At a later date during the day, I ran it on the same library and they were all there again.
