Same Title Different Authors
I have an issue with Calibre version 2.6. I'm trying to add a book with the tile One Summer it is author by both Nora Roberts and David Baldacci.
How do I add a book with the same title but different authors |

Doesn't Calibre ask any more if you want to add what it sees as a "duplicate" book? That's what usually happens when I run across the same title/different author issue. I tell it yes and it just adds the book. But I see now I'm still using 2.2, if the latest update has changed things that option might not be available.

Preferences: Adding books has a (Automerge) section controlling what happens when duplicates are detected
To me, Author and Title wold need to be 'close' to be considered a duplicate. |

Calibre seems to only check the title and not the author for duplicates when adding books. Am I doing something wrong here or is this a bug in Calibre?

Thanks, Brydie
The option is still available. I was misreading the message. It would be a nice enhancement if Calibre compared the tittle and author to determine duplicates. Thanks to everyone that replied |
