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.

This is particularly useful if you have just imported a number of books that have some metadata in common. This dialog is very powerful, for example, it has a Search and Replace tab that you can use to perform bulk operations on metadata and even copy metadata from one column to another.
The normal edit metadata dialog also has Next and Previous buttons that you can use to edit the metadata of several books one after the other.
