Thanks. Is your broom icon automatically added? Coz it seems like a pain if you had to manually copy-paste an icon each time.

Ah, now that you mention ISBN, I recall once adding an empty (no file attached) book by ISBN. When it asked me if I wanted to download metadata, it seemed faster.

Is downloading metadata faster if there's an ISBN attached to a book, as opposed to a book without ISBN but has author name and title?
