Bulk Download Covers Only - 0.9.29

[Better Red]

Windows 8 [64 bit] & Windows 7 SP1 [32 bit]

This error occurred at the end of reviewing the bulk download for covers only, after the Applying... progress bar.

On some books no cover was found, on some books the downloaded cover was rejected and on others the cover was accepted - i.e. a mixed bag.

No harm done.

Didn't happen when we bulk downloaded 'textual metadata'

The new facility is excellent

Would it be possible to have the same downloaded/original selection feature for a single book metadata downloads

Fixed in branch lp:calibre. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.

I am not intereested in providing this feature for a single download,
as I dont find it particularly useful in that context.
Note that you can download metadata one book at a time with bulk
download if you so desire.

Didn't occur to me to 'look' at the context menu for a single book - that's cool.
