I am trying out the MR SE 3.2.1 library as a replacement for calibre companion which is heading downhill rapidly.

I have loaded my calibre library several times trying to get sorted books in calibre date added; found that I had to use Calibre as a content server to load instead of OPDS on my NAS to have the date switch work.

"Minor" point but will be helpful if MR can also have the selected authors by the particular alpha to be able to load from Calibre instead of just an individual author. This will greatly enhance the initial loading by author group instead of going thru each individual author. I thought I had read about a limit of downloading the books so getting all of them by specifying by title or date? Maybe it was just for opds servers?

Perhaps an extra step or "down arrow" when a group is selected?

Will try the "all at once" by date to see what would happen (only ~800 books); reason is I found that I missed something using the "by tag"........
