Shift+alt+M only half works?
If i read the context menu correctly this should merge to the FIRST selected book?
I find that is merges to the first LISTED book. Anyone else seeing this behavior or am i mistaken. 0.8.41 (I happen to be working on a list provided by Find Duplicates plugin) Last edited by Darkeyce; 02-26-2012 at 02:27 AM. Reason: Spelling! |

Where do you see this combination (listed)? to merge books I select the Destination. Then holding the control key, Select 1 or more books to merge into the first. Then I release the Control Key and tap 'M' |

If you want to merge book metadata (summaries) AND formats, don't use "Merge only formats". Since it does exactly what it says - only merges the formats for the book, and none of the other information.

Oh DUH! I Simply read what i wanted to see...explains part of why it wasnt working.
I still think its not merging to the first selected book. What i really need is a keyboard shortcut to the "merge and delete" option. Any idea why the other two have shortcuts and that one doesn't? |

Are you sure that simply pressing M is not what you want? That merges all selected book entries into the first one selected removing the others.

Holy Crap. I"ve been using Calibre for a good year and i never realized that JUST pressing "M" had an effect. I always moused down into the menus and selected the first option...
Gawd i feel special. Thanks all. |
