I understand the concerns about the dangers to the integrity of the library. But I think you can manage the risk with a backup. And in the end, everyone is responsible for actually using this function (which is also explicitly declared as dangerous).

Hey, sorry about that, I got caught up in some big work projects.

It's ok that kiwidude doesn't want to include a fork's functionality, that's very normal in the open source community for people to have strong opinions - such things are required for really cool projects like theirs to get created for free. I don't actually disagree with their logic either, combining duplicates carries high risk of screwing up your ebooks and metadata and losing copies! You have to be careful.

But, there's still usecases. I had one, so I made the tweak to the plugin. Others have usecases too. I'm working right now to get it working with up to date versions of calibre. There was someone else that kindly emailed me to mention another bug that I'm looking at.

As for @kiwidude, don't worry, I won't be making a PR, though i appreciate you linking https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...icates-v1.10.7 your github repo, there's lots of really good information there. The primary motivation for me to create my tweak was to try doing some open source work outside of web dev, thanks for creating resources to help people do that! As your code is GPL-3, I'm going to change my repo to be a fork of yours with the same license. I really like GPL-3 as well.

Sorry to double reply, but it looks like there's a time limit on editing a post.

The fork of kiwidude's excellent repo for finding duplicates that I made a while back has been updated to (hopefully) work on newer versions of Calibre, and also includes the massive improvements kiwidude made to their code in the meantime. https://github.com/komali2/calibre-find-duplicates

Remember that this is only possible because of all of their hard work, credit goes to them!
