More info when adding duplicates
When you add a new book and you get a warning that there is already a similar title it would be useful to have more info such size, publisher, year you added those already in.
Some times is the same book but others is a different edition maybe with a different translation... |

What a coincidence. I agree with this opinion too.

The warning is not for an similar title, it is for an identical title. Personally, if I think it is a false positive, I add the book and then use Find Duplicates to locate books with identical titles disregarding the author(s).

This is a reason to use an 'Intake' Library.
Then use Find Duplicates: Find Library Duplicated (compares 2 Libraries) The view and resolve before Copy to Library (preference: Adding books: Adding actions has a setting for C T L dups) |

This issue has been raised on several occasions over the years. We now have calibre:// URLs and popup book details so… I was wondering if a "Show Details" button be added to the Duplicate found dialogue, viz:
Which would pop a "Read Only" Book details, thus: BR Last edited by BetterRed; Today at 12:41 AM. |

It's not that simple, it's in general an m times n problem. M added files can match N different books in the library.
