Adding Same Book

CC-GoE · 02-07-2016, 10:09 AM

Hi!
I don't know if this is already asked.
I did not find it.
Is it possible to tell me if Calibre has a plugin or native preference for this behavior:

When adding the same book, for example the same ISBN.
Then Calibre would show a notification window before it has added the book.
And it would say that a book with the same ISBN already exists in the database. Would you like to add it anyway?
Thanks

Preferences ==> Import/Export ==> Adding books ==> Automerge added books if they already exist in the calibre library (checkbox)

The Find Duplicates plugin is designed to give you more fine-grained control over the weeding out of duplicates.
