That is possible, but very round-about.
I can as easy click on "folder book files" link at the bottom of detailed pane, open fb2 in vi/notepad, and modify the file directly. It is very simple if you understand the format. Easy from technical point of view, but not a GUI way.

No, I checked. "Save to disk" as well as "Convert" and "Export to device" do not use metadata from the library. Metadata always comes from the file.
So far, the original question remain: how to update metadata in the book file from metadata in the library?
