So the following scenario is just one example of where FindDuplicates fails libraries: 1. Stage DVD Marc Records 2. Use a rule to match on 024 (the identifier on many DVDs) 3. Find duplicates 4. Go to Acq and add staged file to basket 5. Koha says there are duplicates but there aren't instead it's matching on Title & Author and matching DVDs to books because the DVDs don't have ISBNs By using this patch we allow for libraries to choose how to find duplicates instead of forcing them to use a hard coded script that they have no control over.
