Select multiple books in the book list in the 'usual way' and press 'C'.

thanks for reply BetterRed

Where do I select multiple books in the usual way? I have looked allover for a place to do multi selection and unable to find. Even read the help on this which unfortunately didnt. Have the same thing looking to find duplicates in my library, cannot find. Even downloaded a plugin, but that gives me a selection pop up which extends beyond the screen size length wise so unable to activate, althouhj again need to be able to select multiple books as above.

thanks again

Hold down either shift or ctrl and click the items you want to multi-select.

Calibre's book list works much like a file manager, if you know how to select multiple files in File Explorer, Finder, Nautilus etc then you know how to select multiple books in calibre.

This may help ==>> https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000771.htm

Thanks to you both

have now managed to convert those that I could, which were the majority.
