@Adoby
i have changed my settings as you and DoctorOhh told me. but how do i preview the metadata download? if i click 'download metadata' the window pops up and show me matching entries from the configured providers. but if i click ok the selected entry will be applied without preview and without the chance to disable some of the content...
I wanted your feature, but settled for disabling author and title

Use the Download Metadata (Crtl+D) But always use the 'Review Metadata'
Then use the field copy arrows to overwrite (to Keep the existing) the populated fields on the left (blanks get overwritten with values on the right)
You can hand edit only the Left side. This includes deleting bad data BUT There does not appear a way to stop the automatic copy to a blank
if the existing data is wrong .

You will see a Next Button if you used the Ctrl-D with multiple books which allows you to hand process each one
