bulk edit mode (like Calibre)
I'm sure this isn't the first time its been requested, but I can't find any threads in a quick search.
I'd really love a bulk edit mode just like Calibre has. If you're not familar this is what the UX looks like:

At the moment, this can be achieved using custom scripts. If you are interested, see this thread for various examples:
