Since you couldn't have had "Calibre's Date" data downloaded into MapleRead previously, and re-downloading hundreds or even thousands of books from Calibre to MapleRead with v1.6.1 might be a pain, the new version will also introduce the following new feature
- batch download options to overwrite metadata without re-downloading books from any generic OPDS server, including Calibre's Content Server
This is obviously useful by itself even when you don't need Prefer Calibre Date, and is technically not restricted to Calibre's server.

Hi sbaylor, I'm having some difficulties with trying to get MR to show my books via date calibre added. I have tried to use the new preference options in MR 1.6.1 but either it's not working, or I'm confused about the steps needed.
First, from your own MR update log screenshot regarding the preferences (see attached), the wording of options is ambiguous and may benefit from further explanation in the FAQ. Specifically, there are two overwrite metadata options, one for "if library has same title and author" and another for "if downloaded book is duplicate". I am not quite sure what the difference between these options are and they seem to be the same thing to me.
I tried to select overwrite metadata for either option and for both in various experiments. Each time MR said my books are updated, but I can not find any option to sort my books by calibre date added. The only new option I can see is date metadate altered.
Any help in how I'm doing this wrong would be appreciated, thanks.
