metadata in bulk

Lorraine Froggy · 11-14-2009, 09:15 PM

Hello,

When using the function "download metadata" directly from the library window, the metadata choose to retrieve is the one with the longest title I think, but IMHO it's not the more relevant.
On the other hand, when using the "download metadata" function in the book pop-up, results appear sort by the longer of the summary/comment field witch is more relevant.

Is it possible that the function "download metadata" of the library window use the same logic, and retrieve also the book the longer summary/comment ?

As far as I recall the logic is the same in both case, but perhaps it is a regression. Open a ticket and I'll have a look at it before the next release.
