Hi, glad you find it useful! It's a bit of a geek tool really, I haven't ended up using it personally as much as I thought I would when I first wrote it so it hasn't had much demand from me for additional customisation. Plus it is already a very complex plugin to use so trying to find a balance when considering new options on top requested is difficult.

However I am slightly confused about what you are asking for. With the "Update metadata fields" button on the Step 2 page, you have to pick which fields you want to update in your library. Does that not do what you want already?
