[feature request] merging duplicates
In principle, merging duplicates is a great tool to handle the library. However, the performance for the user is quite poor most probably because lots of comparisons have to be made for each merging task.
Therefore, it would be great to separate the UI from the data merge by either introducing a (threaded) stacking of the reference data merge command or, may be more simple to realize, an automated duplicate merging taking the suggestions of the library for the merger. The later realization could ask at the beginning if the first dated reference shall be used for the new ref or the last dated one.

- - when clicking the button "merge n items"
- - pack the "ready to merge references" into a JSON object, the leading reference will be the root
- - remove the "to be merged references" from displaying in the duplicate items list
- - move the JSON object into the stack of a "merging thread" (which will be the new implementation
- - let the code to what is already done in the merging routine
- - replace the old "to be merged reference" with the new "merged reference" with the already used code
This should not be to difficult for an experienced coder
Thx for regarding this in one of the next updates
