[GUI Plugin] Find Duplicates

I was using find metadata duplicates, not book duplicates...so there's no identical...only similar, soundex and fuzy

But I will try with the import mentioned below. tnx

• Open the advanced metadata variations dialog (Find Duplicates > Advanced Mode > Find Metadata Variations).
• Extract the attached zip and import the json file inside (Manage button > import > browse to the json file).
• Close the manage dialog and return to the Advanced Find Metadata Variations dialog. Now in the save/restore dropdown menu choose the imported setting (called "similar authors ignore initials").
• Press restore button to apply the setting.
• Press the search button.

The setting above uses template language to remove author initials before proceeding with similar author match. You can replace the similar match with whatever you want e.g. identical

tnx a lot, I completely forgot about the advanced mode...actually used it once before

Is there a way to get the V1.5?

I'm running Win-7, would like the functionality of Find Duplicates, but the latest version needs Calibre 5+...I'm stuck back at 4.23 because of my OS.

Version 1.8.6 is posted here. That says it should work with calibre 2+. If that doesn't work, I have 1.7.2. I wouldn't go back to 1.5 as that is from 2012. Or did you mean 1.8.5?

Thanks - 1.8.6 works in my Calibre 4.23

Tried installing the 'default' from 'Get New Plugins' and it stated I had to upgrade Calibre - version there was 1.8.10

Can't upgrade Calibre cause it need Win-10

1: I have programs I regularly use that won't run under Win-10 - tried them on the wife's computer
2: My computer is old enough that it's not Win-10 compatible
3: My finances are such that to get a new computer just for a couple programs is 'a silly waste of money.'

Thanks again for a version that works on my system.

Changes for the upcoming PyQt6.

I uploaded a new version that should fix this.

@capink: setTabStopWidth() is now setTabStopDistance().

I solved this problem in common_utils as follows:
The imports:

try:
    import qt.core as QtGui
    from qt.core import (Qt, QIcon, QPixmap, QLabel, QDialog, QHBoxLayout,
                         QTableWidgetItem, QFont, QLineEdit, QComboBox,
                         QVBoxLayout, QDialogButtonBox, QStyledItemDelegate, QDateTime,
                         QTextEdit,
                         QListWidget, QAbstractItemView)
    from qt.core import QRegularExpressionValidator as QRegExpValidator
    from qt.core import QRegularExpression as QRegExp

    using_Qt6 = True
except ImportError:
    using_Qt6 = False
    try:
        from PyQt5 import Qt as QtGui
        from PyQt5.Qt import (Qt, QIcon, QPixmap, QLabel, QDialog, QHBoxLayout,
                              QTableWidgetItem, QFont, QLineEdit, QComboBox,
                              QVBoxLayout, QDialogButtonBox, QStyledItemDelegate, QDateTime,
                              QRegExpValidator, QRegExp, QTextEdit,
                              QListWidget, QAbstractItemView)
    except ImportError:
        from PyQt4 import QtGui
        from PyQt4.Qt import (Qt, QIcon, QPixmap, QLabel, QDialog, QHBoxLayout,
                              QTableWidgetItem, QFont, QLineEdit, QComboBox,
                              QVBoxLayout, QDialogButtonBox, QStyledItemDelegate, QDateTime,
                              QRegExpValidator, QRegExp, QTextEdit,
                              QListWidget, QAbstractItemView)

And then where it is used:

        if using_Qt6:
            self.value_text.setTabStopDistance(24)
        else:
            self.value_text.setTabStopWidth(24)

            self.value_text.setTabStopDistance(24)
        else:
            self.value_text.setTabStopWidth(24)

@chaley: thanks for the tip . Since I removed PyQt4 support from all plugins I support and made the minimum calibre version 5.13, I directly replaced setTabStopWidth with setTabStopDistance.

[georgemk]

@capink Thanks for the fix.

I have been using the Find duplicates for a long time and have hit upon an issue with
marked:library_duplicate showing all books rather than only the duplicates. It was working correctly and I run it on a remote server via xwindows. I think that either calibre crashed or I lost the connection to the server. I had locked my workstation while I was copy files between libraries and when I came back, the calibre gui was gone. Now when duplicates are found the duplicates are not being shown by the marked:library_duplicate search command. I reinstalled calibre and installed the latest plugin and ran the repair on the libraries being compared, but I am still having this issue.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem maybe?
