You probably can copy and paste, but that's pretty much all or nothing. It's in a directory or not. I find that the workflow for managing ebooks is far more incremental. I add covers when Google images is open. I may work on a particular author, or a particular time period when I posted books. I may try to solve a particular type of error in the database. Each of those is handled with a different search to locate records that may need work. The idea that I'll enter the ebook and completely add all the correct metadata doesn't fit for the way I work on the database.
If it works for you, that's great.

I just read in another thread that someone is implementing the ability to save searches, which would also be helpful. I have some suggestions about that that I'll post in that thread though.

Calibre currently remembers searches, and the save search feature will be a great improvement. As a matter of interest, that work's being done by Chaley. IIRC, he keeps his author in reverse name order and he wrote a tweak to allow others to do that. I don't do it that way, most don't, but if it works for him, that's great. Same for you - do what works, but keep an open mind.
