				Backgroud download meta data
			 
			
			
			Sometimes I want to download the meta data of al lot of books. I use ctrl-d to download the meta data. 
		
	
		
		
			https://www.mobileread.com/forums/at...1&d=1633628942 When te meta data is not matched there is a pop up. If i'm not quick enough tot make a choice the proces is halted. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/at...1&d=1633629041 Is there a way to instruct calibre to skip the book when there is not a good match for the meta data and continue with the next book?  |

			I dont have that issue, when I do the mass metadata update any books that are not matched are flagged at the end of the run (along with books I rejected the match for)

			That second dialog is from some third party plugin as far as I can tell, not calibre itself.
