Request: Consolidate multiple formats of single book #1296

Open clear-design opened 1 month ago

clear-design commented 1 month ago

I've synced my Calibre library to a folder on my phone, which Librera scans as it's library. Any book that has multiple versions within Calibre has each version shown within Librera (a separate book for epub, mobi, pdf, etc).

These multiple formats are within a single folder, as per Calibre's standard, and it would be wonderful if that redundancy wasn't shown within Librera's library.

I'm sorry if I'm already missing something that would accomplish this, but I've searched around a bit, and can't find a solution that doesn't just hide all of a single format. There are some books where I only have a pdf, and others only an epub, but if I have a book that has both epub & pdf formats, Librera shows both.

Thanks!

I'll second this! Almost all electronic books come in both PDF & EPUB versions, and I have many such "duplicates" in my library. It would help me shrink the size of my bookshelf significantly if there was a way to consolidate different versions of the same book.

[edit] there are actually numerous reasons this would be a good feature... for instance, one might want to group multiple editions together in the bookshelf, or multiple books in the same series. I have hundreds of books in my collection, so any way to consolidate similar books would be VERY useful.
