I'm not talking about reading metadata from the file, or from the filename. I'm talking about adding metadata manually, when it can't be read from the file.
But thanks for pointing me to preferences->adding books. I seen an option - "Tags to apply when adding a book."
If I set this to "newly-added", I can then import a bunch of books, then select books with the "newly-added" tag, and use the bulk metadata editor to do what I need (and to remove the "newly-added" tag, so they don't show up the next time I do a bulk import.)
