Having used and loved Calibre for years, I was surprised when the new update would not let me update the book metadata and add a description of the book series from the internet. The program Freezes when I chose Edit Metadata and I have to reboot my PC.

Also, I can no longer bulk convert multiple books at the same time. I can still convert the books one at a time as I like to add the series name before the book name ( i.e Interesting Book Series 01 - Book Name ) or so their author names all match ( ie Mystery Books AUTHOR NAME Haunted House ). I often purchase an entire series so this is frustrating too.

I have found nothing helpful on the internet or in this forum yet. Perhaps my search is worded wrong... I'm sure it is something simple. Hope the above made sense. Can I uninstall 4.1.0 and reinstall the previous version? Thank you in advance.
