Auto adding books merge problem
I have my calibre set to auto add from a certain folder. Every time calibre starts it adds the books but does not merge them. So I have to go to find duplicates then merge each set which is very time consuming
 . Under adding books adding actions I do have it set to merge duplicates. What am I doing wrong?

I'm experiencing the same issue when auto merge book with different format (pub and mobi). I have set "Preferences->Adding books->Adding actions" Auto-merge added books if they already exist: check to true and selected "Overwrite existing duplicate formats".
After I add same book in epub and mobi format it goes through the process and shows the merge warning: "The following 2 duplicate books were found. Incoming book formats were processed and merged into your calibre database according to your auto-merge settings. Click "Show details" to see the list of merged books." But after I click OK nothing is added to my database. The log file just says 0 records added. Calibre ver 6.3.0 Any ideas? |

that is because the formats were *merged* into an existing book
