Would you consider to make it non-modal (maybe through a tweak), or would this potentially break something?

I have a particular penchant for making sure the cover size is large enough to appear properly in the several locations (like when I open the book info page) - instead of having some with large blank space and a small cover.
Because it is modal - I can't use the Resize Book Cover plug-in in the second menu bar. I have to close the Metadata window (this is usually where I realize a cover needs to be enlarged) - resize the cover - then open the Metadata window to get back to editing it.
There are two ways around this - if possible - one is this request. Which would allow me to use (I assume) the buttons in the main and secondary menu bars in the main screan. Another I have previously suggested - but as I am assuming this was a plug-in created by someone else and not a main feature - it is a little more than as simple as it sounds. But a button could be added to the EDIT METADATA window for the plug-in. But if the non-modal thing would work - allowing use of menu bar items while also in the editor - that would also take care of this.
