Find books in one library not in another?
I have 2 libraries for Calibre. My current one and a very old one.
I know in the old one there are several books in the old one not in the current one. Is there a way to compare the 2 libraries and mark the books in the old library that aren't present in the current one so that I can import them into the current one and delete the old one? I suspect this may be plug-in territory but I haven't found one that does this. Any hints / suggestions most welcome. |

@Valkrider
The Find Duplicates plug in can do that for you - go to your old library and use the Find library duplicates Option in its drop down, and select your current library enter how to compare for author & title options Press OK, and it will show a list of duplicates, change the search to "not marked:library_duplicate" and there you have it.

Select and right click the books you want to copy, and in the menu select Copy to library.
