Three things:

Is there any chance of allowing the author and/or titles to be pointed elsewhere? As long as the columns match the format for author/title?

I use the plugin to import my Goodreads .csv (export library .csv) and the Goodreads book titles are much different from the edited Calibre titles. This makes the import take forever (I have some 3500 books in Goodreads). I created a "Goodreads Title" column and have been copying it to the title column when trying to import.

This takes a while to do, and requires me to copy from the original Calibre title to a holding title column, and the Goodreads title to the Calibre title, and then back after the import. Each time I do this it requires Calibre to totally change my library. If I could just point the title in the list to the title column I have set up, I could avoid doing this. Same for the Authors.

Also, is there a way of setting the plugin to NOT exclude special characters? "&", and "." is being dropped and it causes some of my titles/authors to not match.

Finally, it would be great if the plugin could have a feature that would remember matches. I am finding that the same books are having to be manually matched up each and every time (thus the reason why I have that Goodreads Title/Authors columns).

Thanks, and I love the plugin otherwise!
