Hello! Just joined LT from GR. Very, very excited. This is a huge step up.
I imported 520 books from GR using the GR importer with default settings, only 516 were imported, and when I tried to re-import the same file, it detected both the correct number of potential duplicates and the correct number of books that weren't imported before, but when I selected "Omit duplicates" and proceeded, it didn't import any more books. Since there are only four missing books, I'm not at all offended (actually, _very_ impressed) and wouldn't mind adding them manually, but how do I see which are missing? Do I need to export my LT data and compare that file with the GR .csv file in Excel?
Thanks so much!

This isn't a bug.

>1 plbnm: I don't know if it's the best or fastest way, but I would sort my LibraryThing catalog alphabetically by author or title, sort the spreadsheet the same way, and then do the tedious work of a line by-line comparison. If there's a more efficient way, I'm sure someone will pipe up — people generally are helpful that way.
And welcome!

>1 plbnm: I should actually be able to take a look at your import and find the books that didn't go through, with a little work.
I will message you directly with the titles that were skipped!
Also, welcome aboard!
