Enhancement requests (or Does it already do that?)

Add "Swap author/title" to context menu. I know I can get to it by going to "Edit Metadata Individually" but when that is the only thing I need to do, it would be nice to be able to just swap them.

Add "Set cover from ebook file" to context menu. As I'm going through my books, I will occasionally find one missing a cover. Being able to right-click and set it would be nicer than having to go into "Edit Metadata in Bulk" for one title, and then selecting it there. (Although I did see, while browsing through the forums, a nice tip I missed from the manual, searching for cover:false should give me the ones missing covers, so this isn't as critical)

After importing with "Read metadata from file contents rather than file name" unchecked, I will occasionally end up with a title/author combination that I can't download metadata for. It would be nice to be able to say "Set metadata from ebook file" the same way we can set the cover.

When doing a search and replace of metadata, is there any way to search for and replace the ampersand (&) with the word "and"? My regular expressions all seem to fail with it.

Is there any way to capture the before values when downloading metadata (at least author/title). I've had some bulk downloads where the author/title has changed completely (and in some cases to something that appears completely unrelated). It would be nice to be able to see it in the "edit Metadata individually" window, to allow the option to roll it back, or at least have the metadata download generate a log file that shows "aaa by bbb updated to ccc by ddd" or domething similar, that I could scan to see if any unusual updates occurred.

I know, I'm probably asking for too much all at once. Mods, feel free to split thisinto multiple threads if you feel it would be more beneficial
