Hi,

I love this plugin and it has been crucial to keeping up with my libraries and goodreads. However I have noticed that it has been having a bit of buggy issues.

First, it pretty much always disappears behind the calibre screen when it is trying to manually find book in the library. I have to shrink Calibre and then restore (via the clicking on the corner of the screen to show the desktop) it for the plugin to show. It takes a lot of extra time.

Second, it often selects a different book to check than the one I select. The books it shows are nowhere near the books I select. So, I don't know what is up with that.

So that's the problem with the bugs.

Now I have a feature request, probably can do it already but am not sure yet. There are a lot of books that ALWAYS need to be matched manually because the csv author name or book names are not easy enough to match. I would like to use another field to check for books. I have a Goodreads or ISBN custom column and would like that to be a choice to use when matching books in the library. Or another column that has been designated for a title to use when importing but not the title I keep for my library metadata.

Any chance that could happen?

Thanks!
