Added Libraries within Calibre

mitch13 · 02-08-2018, 05:58 AM

Is it possible for Calibre to test for duplicates when it is either copying or moving a book from one library to another?

I have several libraries set up and is really working well. It sometimes happens that I have downloaded a few books and then transfer some of them to another library. As the duplicate is now no longer in the Main library it could become a duplicate in the library that it is sent to.
OK probably two choices if it cannot be duplicate checked on the move to another library.
1. Choose which library you want a book to go to and have that library 'loaded'. Would then pick up duplicates.
2. Run duplicate check on the library the book is sent to.

Would be tidier if duplicates checked on the move but probably complications with that???

Find Duplicates Plugin
Use the Libraries option on its right click menu.
Instructions FOR ALL plugins are usualy in the first few posts dedicated to that plugin
