Editing the metadata of many books at a time
---------------------------------------------
First select the books you want to edit by holding Ctrl or Shift and clicking on them. If you select more than one book, clicking the :guilabel:`Edit metadata` button will cause a new *Bulk* metadata edit dialog to open. Using this dialog, you can quickly set the author/publisher/rating/tags/series etc of a bunch of books to the same value. This is particularly useful if you have just imported a number of books that have some metadata in common. You can also click the arrow next to the :guilabel:`Edit metadata` button and select :guilabel:`Edit metadata individually` to use the powerful single book edit dialog from above for all the selected books in succession.
Search and replace
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Bulk metadata edit dialog allows you to perform arbitrarily powerful search and replace operations on the selected books. By default it uses a simple text search and replace, but it also support *regular expressions*. For more on regular expressions, see :ref:`regexptutorial`.
Bulk downloading of metadata
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want to download the metadata for multiple books at once, click the arrow next to the :guilabel:`Edit metadata` button and select :guilabel:`Download metadata and covers`. You can choose to download only metadata, only covers, both or only social metadata (tags/rating/series).
