Hi,
as rebuilding a library did not work I have created a new one and added the books of the previous library reading from its directory (on book each directory).

I have found an "interesting" behaviour:

Many books have this format:

Tittle: 3534038401 - Unknown
Author: 3534038401
(Note, the isbn number is the original file name and it is correct)

Tittle: Data Structures and Efficient Algorithms - Unknown
Author: Data Structures & Efficient Algorithms

This has somehow meesed up a lot of book name and authors.

I also ask the following feature: we have the opportunity to read the COVER from the original file. Could you add a way to read metadata from the original files too in "group modify metadata" ?

Thanks in advance

NOTE: Also some books have inverted Tittle - Author
