Multiple Edit Metadata Information Update.

When performing a Multiple Edit, would it be possible to add a new tick box to the Basic Metadata Screen which would allow you to up-date the metadata information and add a new cover.
At the moment you have to return to the main menu to do this.

Thanks for all your effort.

Huh? When you click OK on the bulk metadata edit screen, your values should already be updated to whatever you input. There are also options to set covers. Or are you thinking about fetching metadata from the net? You can do that in bulk by selecting multiple books and, in the context menu, selecting edit metadata. There are download options in the menu that should open.

You are missing my point.
When you click on "Edit Metadata in Bulk" this opens a screen with various options and you can set the values you require.
What you can not do is download new metadata and covers from the Net without returning to the Main Menu.
It would save a considerable amount of time to be able to have a new selection box on the "Basic Metadata Screen" which could be placed under the existing "Change Cover Box" allowing you to update this information from the Net.

If you reread my post, you'll see that i didn't miss your point. I adressed downloading metadata from the net. However, metadata download will be improved sometime in the future, I don't think there'll be many changes till then. Also, I don't believe the dialog will be integrated into the metadata edit dialog, as the improvements will, as far as I have heard, include finegrained control over what metadata gets used from where in what field.

O.K.
Thanks for that.
