Feature Requests: Series Syncing, Search-Replace Meta-Data Editing

Sorry if this is not the right place for this, but with all the frequent updates, I'd like to chime in with a feature request or two.

1) Syncing books by series. Currently, I have to select the book once my iPad is synced via Wireless connected, while existing synced books automatically resync to update any changed meta-data. Can it be set up to automatically sync books by series, so that any new books added to my Desktop Calibre to a series that is being synced will also sync to the device when it is connected?

2) I would like to have a search...replace function when editing meta-data (like Series name), such as when I want to correct a persistent mis-spelling of an author name or title or series name. Granted I can sort of do this by batch selecting and meta-data editing, but a search-replace function works more efficiently without having to find the misspelled words first.

3) I'd like to be able to change the series name of a series of books without changing the series number. Last time I checked, whenever I change the Series Name, the series numbers reset, which is problematic when I order them by Series Number because I liked that order in the first place.

4) Any chance we got get better plugins for importing meta-data for Comic Books? I'm using Comictagger, but with it requiring only cbz format, and only doing one book at a time, it's still very cumbersome to use for my large collection.

Thanks for your consideration,

AD
