Duplicate Found on Import > Offer to Open That book

exalite · 12-14-2022, 06:27 PM

I think this would be great to have. On MacOSX, I am often using Finder to search for books and I get the "duplicate book" found. It would be nice if there was a button that allowed me to "Do not import duplicate, open instead".

I also am using Alfred spotlight search with "Cali" search extension which is great, but I still run into the problem occasionally.

I dont follow the usecase, simply add it anyway and then open it and if you decide its s duplicate delete it.
