Or do you navigate to the series page and paste it into the scrape page thing, updating all the books in the series that way? Which...could be possible, I guess. But there's not a clickable link to a series in Calibre, so... you have to click on the fic link to open it up in a web browser, and then go to the series once it does, and then copy the URL and paste it in.

And...if the series is on multiple pages the hassle is even bigger.

So doing it that way seems unlikely vs. just clicking on the series in Calibre and hitting Ctrl+A and then Update.

But I mean, if people are actually doing that...okay, whatever.

But the emailed URLS should always default to updating, and pasted URLs should have a separate specific default from Calibre-selected-books update. (Or not let you set a default for pasted ones, either...even if they let you pick one in the prompt box.)
