Haha, that would be cool. Unfortunately given just how poor the metadata quality is out there I don't rate your chances of that ever happening. I don't think I've ever had a ctrl+d get metadata for a series correctly identify the series for all the books, usually you get a mish-mash of multiple series names you have to consolidate manually. Part of the reason why I would like more control over metadata download so that it doesn't overwrite existing series tags but that's another story.

So as an avid empty book user, would it be useful or a hindrance to you to have the author auto-populated from the current selected row for all the empty books you add?
