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?
An Annoyance if it is not easily avoided. Adds are random events, not always related.
I could see a tweak that replaces the simple "How many" box, with a Bulk Metadata template form (complete with current pull-down items), to control the "forced-fills"
