Feature Request: Non-modal Metadata Editor Window

Hi :)

When adding books to calibre, I'm somewhat... OCD... with regard to metadata correctness. Often I need to actually take a look into the book I'm editing, but I can't because the metadata editor window is modal. Then I need to close it, open the book, and then re-open the metadata editor window.

Would you consider to make it non-modal (maybe through a tweak), or would this potentially break something?

Thanks :)

In the MDE window, double-click the format on the right side

You are welcome.
