The setting is on Preferences | General | Overwrite author and title by default. Just turn off that checkbox. That checkbox sets your default for automatic metadata fetches. You can override your default setting on the single metadata screen when doing a manual fetch.
It won't fix your default publisher issue, but at least you won't lose your correct author/title

Thank you! I hadn't noticed that, despite being on that page many times. I am still learning the software, and trying to work out where all the tweakability resides. (Ex: I had been typing up a post and was about to submit it, but then I discovered where to disable importing tags from the metadata download.)
I ended up going through manually for a good chunk of my books any hand-picking the metadata sources. I wish it was easier to preview the cover art for each one, as that's my main concern, really. It's tough, mostly trial and error, to get a matching set... And when you're talking a single series of over 30 books, it is sometimes fruitless. But it's all good.
