Additional Suggestion

Series - Have set Series entries for certain book types (or certain entrys have no number prefix)
Reason: When sorting through books you most likely have one of these;
A Novel
A Collection
An Omnibus
A Book in a Series
A Short Story (Novella, Chapterbook, Short Story, etc)

Series Books work fine, but what if you want to label your novels, as "Novels, so as not to get them mixed up with you short stories, and for easy reference?

It would be a real neat solution if the Series column could have some set titles, that have no Number associated. If this is possible in the scope of the program.
Just entering Novel or Collection yourself results in the books being incremented, and selecting a group of them results in them all having a [1]
Other way is to have another custom column. too many of those will melt your brain


Oh While I'm here.

Edit Metadata Picture Adding - Stop Selection Jumping
Reason: When in Edit metadata window, Downloading Covers, you have set a limit on the time you want the search to take, which is fine say 15seconds. You have set several places to search, amazon, goodreads, fan fiction for example, which is still fine.
What actually happens is one or two covers download in a few seconds, and you already know which you want, the other is still downloading.
You select the one you want - and just as you click OK, the other one downloads and you selection Jumps to that one instead. - Is that intended behaviour? Can it be altered to not change your selection?
