				Metadata Edit: Bulk vs Individual
			 
			
			I noticed that when I edit metadata in bulk, the library view gets refreshed after the edit, i.e. the search criteria are reapplied, which may change the books visible if the edit changed some of the search criteria.  This does not happen when I edit metadata individually, using the dialog box.  Is this by design?
