It's more of the "I know I have all the metadata how I want it and I'm done". Any new book that I brought in would immediately fall into the "in-progress" category because I haven't checked it. It you could auto apply that to any imported book, it would be very helpful. Having another field to designate status would also be very helpful. Right now I have 17 books in Calibre and I've pulled down metadata from the web. These 17 books now have 99 total tags. If I add a tag for workflow, it's 100. I don't mind the 99 tags to describe what's in the book, but having to scroll through 99 tags, and I presume there will be more as I add more books, to filter books based on whether or not I'm done with them seems less efficient than it could be. Not marking a book as either "complete" or "in progress" would also leave me personally wondering, "wait, did I clean that one up?" The other option is to delete all the other tags and just use tags for workflow I guess.

So for right now I'll have a folder for ebooks that I haven't run through Calibre and a folder for anything I know has the correct metadata, etc.
