Supporting an auto-add folder is easy enough, and I can make the series field editable in the main GUI, not quite as easy as drag and drop, but almost as good.

That why I said I was planning on writing my own app
Not just an auto-add folder, an auto-add folder _tree_. More accurately, don't duplicate data. Use the data from where it's found (like the Sony Software does). My book collection is over 120MB, now it's 240MB.
Making the series field editable would be pretty helpful, or having a series number column that's easy to set would be even better.
Creating patches would require me to learn Python, something I have refused to do because I frown upon languages that put semantic value on whitespace, and it would require me to somehow get a python development system working in windows, since my FreeBSD box is text only. I gave up last time after the third "Replace this file in the standard language folder with my subtly different version"
I might try again sometime, but it would be much easier for me to write something from scratch.
