I read a lot of classics, which I generally get free from Project Gutenberg. The problem is, when I download metadata/covers for them automatically, they often come up with metadata/covers for weird editions or even completely different books. Is there a way to revert to the previous metadata/cover for the book? If not, could that be a feature in the future? (Though I will admit, it's much easier in 0.8.0, which I do appreciate.) It's a pain to go in and manually change everything back and then do the search from the "edit metadata" window.

Or is it possible to set preferences such that using ctrl-D brings up the screen so you can choose which metadata and covers you want to download?
