Release notes:
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...icates-v1.10.1

Thanks to @chaley for the help, Find Metadata Variations now respects any virtual library search restriction you have applied. So more consistent with the Find Books behaviour.

I also made it possible to have the calibre search result query reduced when clicking on different results in the Find Metadata Variations dialog. The default behavior remains the same - of the search showing you all books for all variations. But if you deselect a variation in the right side of the dialog then it gets removed from the search query in the calibre window behind.

This should make it slightly nicer for dealing with more results than can fit on screen, given the dialog is modal and blocks you from clicking/scrolling.

I'm also aware that by changing the Similar Authors to ignore initials, you now get more false positives than before. Since "Smith, John" and "Smith, John H." really can be two different authors sometimes. There is no ability to apply exclusions in the Metadata Variations dialog (Ignore is temporary). I know this has been requested by others also. But before I consider adding that I would have to properly resolve the issues some users have with enormous exclusion lists that impact performance before making it worse. That is a rainy day exercise that won't be happening any time soon...

Enjoy!
