I'm loving 0.8 (I just updated to 08.1) especially the cover choice option, but I'm seeing some behavior that I'm curious about.
When I go to download metadata for a title, I find that now I usually only get one option, where in <0.8, I got multiple options to choose from and pick the right edition of my book.
I checked in the 'view log' and can see that other editions of the book were found, but they aren't presented to me to choose from. There is no isbn (that I can see) associated with my original file, just a name and author. Some of these are text files that I have created from other formats.
I've tried toggling "read metadata from file contents rather than name" both on and off and the behavior remains the same.
I wouldn't care about this, but for some reason, some books keep coming back with the metadata for the audio version with no option for print.

Is it something in my settings, or something in my files? Are people still seeing a long list of book options when they go to edit metadata?
