My uneducated guess matches yours

[Hence why I and others await the day of the much-longed for feature controlling metadata download that allows us to be sure our carefully constructed series data does not get trashed should we choose to populate it first.]

I'd like this, too. I need more Qt skills (and time) to get there. I wrote the "Don't overwrite author/title" option, which is a crude form of metadata fetch control, and I'm reasonably comfortable with the metadata handling from writing the Merge code.
Charles has written some Qt code that I may be able to copy, but I keep thinking if I try it, I'll be just finishing some crude initial code when Charles or Kovid posts polished final code. I've kind of been just watching/waiting thinking I'll steal their work on fine control for metadata fetching and use it for fine control on metadata Merging
