I'd like to add another quite irritating issue to the discussion:

I too sometimes add books from series in non-consecutive order. If the auto-numbering suggests a number which is not correct, I simply overwrite it. No big deal for me.

My problem: I'm using usually the keyboard only. If I notice that I have missed an information which is located above the Series-ID, I hit Shift+Tab several times to move the focus upward. Unfortunately the books ID gets overwritten by the automatically generated number as soon as I leave the Series field on my way up.

This means the automatic function overwrites my manual entry. This should definitely be prevented. You have to be very concentrated to notice such a change in a field you have already finished working in.

Suggestion: the auto-numbering should only fill the ID-field as long as it's empty.

Yours,

Marc
