I just started using this program yesterday and so far it's awesome. However I have one problem. I made the mistake of leaving Barnes & Noble and Google enabled in the meta-data search and now a vast number of books that are part of a series are tagged as omnibus when they're single volumes and a great number have spanish titles and descriptions, or the descriptions are reviews rather than cover blurbs etc. To put it bluntly the Google and Barnes & Noble plugins are awful. Goodreads, Fantastic Fiction and Overdrive are far better and SHOULD be the defaults.

Unfortunately to undo the damage they've done I have to go in manually delete the Id sting from each and every one apparently or it just re-downloads the same data. Everything else seems to be batch editable, am I just missing the option to batch delete all ID strings?
