I just demonstrated for you, using a txt file, and you agreed, that adding multiple books per directory does read metadata from the opf file.

Futhermore, writing metadata to PDF files has always updated title, author and keywords fields, so I dont see how its possible you have PDF files that were saved with old metadata, unless you explicitly turned off updating metadata. What was changed in 1.25 was that *additional* metadata was written to PDF files as XMP metadata, the writing of the fields in the info dictionary was not changed.

So, again, I cannot reproduce anything you claim. Posting screenshots is pointless. zip up a directory that contains the files you are failing to add and attach that.

I attach here a zip file containing two books in txt format saved using save to disk into a single directory with their matching opf files and covers. Unzip that file into adirectory and add it using multiple books per directory and you will see that the metadata is correctly read for both, including the series, publisher, isbn, publish date and cover.
