I am using Calibre Portable (V 3.6) in a Windows PC.
Maybe these are already been suggested, but it will be very helpful for me if I get it here.

01. For .cbr/.cbz files, I cannot change cover as like .pdf from the 'Basic Metadata' window. Strangely, most of them shows 'last page of the book' as the cover page and that is locked also.

02. Autosuggestion of Author while adding a book is based on First Part of the name. It will be helpful if Calibre suggests even if my input matches with any last name. (for example, if I want to input 'John Smith' and type 'John', calibre suggest names starts with 'John', but if I type 'Smith', Calibre dosen't show names ends with 'Smith'.)

03. Is there any way to Assign a role of the Writer? What if someone is not the author, but is a translator? What if I want to keep both the names?

04. Is there any drop down column for books listed as 'read/unread'? If I want to sort the books in the list which I didn't read yet, what is the best option?

Thank you.
