Quick(er) TOC Editing?

[motherat]

After converting Kindle ebooks to the epub format, I often need to make corrections to their table of contents. The table usually exists, but its entries don't point to any locations within the book. Using Calibre's editor, I seem to have two ways of rectifying this:

1. Generate a new TOC using one of the available options (generate from major headings, from all headings, from links etc.). I've had mixed results with this one and generally prefer:

2. Review each existing entry and point it to its correct destination. The option for this is aptly named "Change the location this entry points to".

For most epubs, option 2 quite proficient at automatically suggesting the correct page to point to. The only caveat, to me, seems to be that I need to select each TOC entry one by one via the "welcome screen": I set an entry's destination, click OK, return to the welcome screen, select the next one, set that one's destination ... rinse and repeat.

When editing the metadata of multiple books individually, they're conveniently queued up and can easily be edited back to back. Can I replicate this behaviour here, i. e. queue up multiple TOC entries for quick back to back editing?

When converting your ebooks under the convert option Table of Contents check the "Manually fine-tune the TOC after conversion is competed".

This does not work with bulk convert.
