Bulk metadata download and merge tags and select larger cover(s)

[hiperlink]

Hi all,

I'd like to ask if I download metadata in bulk (more than one book at a time) is there a way to:

1. Automatically merge the downloaded tags with the original tags? So I won't use any of them...
2. Specify that if the downloaded cover is smaller (in dimensions) than the original, it will use the original?

Thanks in advance,
Zsolt

Bulk mode: No and No


Bigger is not always better:
Big 'BPH Generic' cover or a smaller 'cover Art' cover.

IIRC Calibre has always used all or nothing for metadata fields.
You CAN configure Which source, will supply the field data.
Preference: Metadata Download:

The Right side is OVERALL
Select a source and use the 'Configure' button at the bottom

OK, then I'm looking into the source to make it configurable. Thanks for your answer!
