Duplicate PDFs

akanjee
I would greatly appreciate adivce on the following:
I need to delete duplicate PDFs that are listed under a single reference - sometimes three or even four duplicates

EXAMPLE

Article name XYZ
Article PDF 1
Article PDF 2

I know that i need to select eh extra file and delete. However, i have large numbers of these duplicated and wanted to know if there is any way to automate the process other then manually selection of each and every reference
Thanks AK

    I'm not aware of any quick solution, sorry. There are plans to improve duplicate merging so they're less likely to appear, but I have no idea when that'll happen, nor would it help you with the already existing duplicates.

    Hi, would it be possible to implement something like that:
    - now the application has the option to detect duplicates.

    So when I import something to Zoter, the application can easily check whether this is a duplicate or not (it is already implemented). If it is a double, then instead of imorting again, the application would make a reference to already-existing entry (like it already does).

    Both ingridients required for this already exist. Feels like "a single if and calling one or two already implemented functions" (and maybe an "on/off" switch in preferences). I do not want to make it sound trivial, but it already feels "almost supported"
