Identifying duplicate books with same content, but different tags
It seems that the duplicate book finder plug in finds books with duplicate tags.
For me, the reverse functionality would be more useful: identifying duplicates that are the same book from their binary content, but MAY have different tags (or could be the same). The duplicate file finder utilities I have seen DO NOT recognize a duplicate file when the tag changes, otherwise I would run files through a de-dupe software BEFORE adding. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Thanks, I didn't see that option - do you know if there's any way to run this automatically when adding a book to the library, so that it's not added at all if it binary matches?

OTOH, I can't think of a ebook supplier that supplies identical files with different metadata that is not also embedded in the file which would make the binary compare pretty useless. Which brings up the question as to which source you are using that supplies binary identical ebook files with different title/authors/etc. information. |

It actually also doesn't really seem to work for me. The experiment I did was to export a book, change the metadata, then add the changed one back. I did a binary compare and it didn't see the duplicate, for some reason.
