Comment 4 for bug 1698331

I can't say anything about the amount of work it would be for you, but I can tell you that this is not an infrequent action for me. I have a few libraries that I add to and manage continually (14k books + another comic library and a technical section) and managing metadata (both single and multiple books) is something I spend quite some time on. True, the entire action does only save us one click, but it's something I do quite often.

I get what you mean about removing the dropdown. There has to be a way to indicate the current value correctly, and leaving it as a dropdown makes the most sense. However, I do think it would help if the buttons came before the dropdown, because you usually open this view to edit the metadata, not just to view it. Your thoughts ?
