Bug Description
I would like a delete button on the Edit Metadata dialog (edit metadata individually)
I have thousands of books and spend a lot of time editing metadata, but often find that what I thought might be a book and is in the library is actually something that I don't want. I would like to be able to delete it there (with an "Are you sure? popup for security) before I press Previous or Next to go to another book for editing.
Currently if I want to delete a book/PDF, I have to go out of the dialog, delete it, then open the dialog again to continue editing metadata (otherwise if I continue then I don't remember all the books that I want to delete and they are hard to find once I have moved on with editing)

To post a comment you must log in.
Seems redundant to me. Simply add a tag named "delete" or something
similar before clicking next. Then when you are done editing search for
tag:delete
Press ctrl+a and delete all books at once.
