a book that is already in the database the program warns you about a possibile duplicate record.

It looks only at the Name. It should look at the Author and then then the name. as there are more books with the same name, but not the same Author then ever. It should only show the warning if all the information is the same.

You can switch off the option of checking for duplicates in Preferences, "Expert options" tab.

Yes, you can switch it off, but what is the point then. Duplicates in my understanding of the word. Is the same in every area. ie. Same author, and Book. A didderent Author whith the same book name is not a duplicate and should not appear in the list. A check of just the book name, is just wrong. A check should be done to ensure that at a min. the Author/Book name should be different.
