Bug Description
When importing a book to a Calibre library, it provides warning if current library may already contain the book. It would be great if similar warning could appear when moving or copying a book from one library to another, if book already exists in the target library. Version 1.8.0. Windows 7 OS.
To reproduce the problem:
1. Ensure at least two libraries are set up in Calibre.
2. Ensure same book exists in two libraries.
3. Copy or move same book from one library to the other.
4. No warning will appear to advise that book may already exist in the target library.
This is not a bug, but an enhancement request for a product that is already fantastic. As libraries grow bigger over time, and multiple libraries perhaps become more common, this feature would greatly enhance library management.
Thank you.
Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
