(I'm not sure if this is considered a plug-in or not, so excuse me please if I've got this in the wrong place.)

I use the "add empty book/no formats" to build empty "shells" to keep track of books I'm looking forward to and books that I am still looking to find. Currently the command brings up 3 fields: How many books to create (required), set the author (optional), & set the series (optional). Most of the time I am creating only one book at a time, not multiple entries. What I am looking for is the possibility of having an optional 4th field for "set the title of the book".

I currently have 60,000 + listings in one library, with approximately a fourth of them being "shells", records with no formats attached. So as you can see, this would be time-saving and very useful to me. The shell would be finished in one step instead of two. Thanks for looking.

p.s. also many thanks to whomever creating or coded this part of calibre, extremely useful!
