Hi,

I was not aware of the undo possibility (except in the comments field), thanks for the pointer!

For the rest, I really prefer to perform udpates one field at the time
It happens to me all the time that a metadata download updates field(s) I want to keep

The typical example is the author name: I have normalised them to "first_name last_name" (which is the normal use in French)
When downloading metadata, most of the time this field comes as "last_name, first_name"
I have had countless books subrepticely been "moved" to an incorrect author name

ANyway, my initial proposal was meant to ease my metadata management (and maybe some other's as well), and although I would have appreciated more flexibility, I can leave with what the application provides

Thanks!
