I just had to reinstall Windows and whatever version of Calibre I was using before was several versions older than this new one and I can't figure out how I did this before.

Basically, say I add 50 books. Right now if I edit the metadata on one when I go back to the list it refreshes and I lose the remaining 49 in the library before I could adjust the metadata on them. On my old install somehow it let me keep the newly added books at the top of the list, even through adjusting metadata, until either I refreshed manually or restarted. Can someone tell me how to do this? I can't find how anywhere.
