I had posted this in Patreon but I noticed that that isn't where this type of request should be posted. Here's the message again.

Oftentimes I have a PDF open to get info from it to enter into Calibre.
Sometimes when I enter the info it won't let me proceed because the PDF is open in my preferred PDF viewer (SumatraPDF). It shows the error/warning dialogue "Could not change the on disk location of this book. Is it open in another program?" When I acknowledge that dialogue it reverts the stored value to the original. Would you please add a button to this dialogue with the caption "Try Again". Then the user could alt + tab to the viewer, close the document, come back to Calibre and click Try Again. Sometimes I've entered 5 authors or a long Title and then when I make this mistake I have to enter it all again and this makes me very sad lol. I would really really appreciate it.

Again, you're awesome and thank you for all your hard work!
