how does 'download metadata & covers' handle multiple variations?
If there are multiple 'variations' of a book and I choose "download metadata" from the "edit metadata" screen, I get a prompt to select the correct version of the book. However, when I do "download metadata & covers" for multiple books, there is no such prompt. In these situations, how does "download metadata & covers" determine which variation of the book to download metadata for?

Example:
tags: isbn:9781684037933, amazon:B08WHWXM7Q, barnesnoble:1138636734, goodreads:59966105, google:yGUcEAAAQBAJ, grrating:4.4, grvotes:252, mobi-asin:B08WHWXM7Q

It uses a bunch of heuristics to pick the best one, for details see the code.

Is this the correct spot in the code?
