Yes, I see now that file names are changed - the author goes to the end, etc.
So in that case, it makes sense to try to get metadata from the file name while importing - while you still can - and that makes even more important to be able to add metada from the file contents later.
A book may contain some useful metadata information entered manually that is not available on the internet.
Or the initial internal metadata information is also lost and no longer present in the added book?
I mean, there is metadata.opf with new metadata, but there is also, for example, an epub file - maybe it still contains the initial metadata?
Or more than one file each with its own metadata still intact?
If not, that makes even more important to have an option to import metadata both from the file name and from the file content, maybe choosing priority to one of those sources.
But if the original metadata is still in the file, I should be able to fetch it and transfer fully, or partially to the library book metadata (metadata.opf)
I hope I don't have to import each file for the second time just to achieve that and then to delete the copies.
