When I try to download the metadata it doesn't find the book in the search until I delete everything after the author.
Example: Pratchett, Terry - Discworld 15 - Men At Arms
Is there any way to bulk edit the author column and remove everything after the - symbol.
Many Thanks

Select all the books and click Edit Metadata. This will open Bulk Metadata Edit -- the last tab allows you to use regex Search and Replace on metadata fields.
