remove duplicated bib items doesn't work #2

Closed anhvt2 closed 1 hour ago

I tried to combine 2 bibtex files but the entries were renamed rather than removed. This results in a (much) longer bib file with different entry names for the same citation.

Thanks for filing the bug report. I will have a look into it

Right now, there is no check whether a citation already exists in terms of the same content. There is only a duplicate check for the same IDs. However, this is an important feature and I will work on this.

I have added a new functionality that automatically detects duplicates based on the content (similar title, ...). It will automatically be run after loading a bib file.

This feature is already active on the master branch version and will be released via PyPI with the next release version.
