It will be nice if book import feature allows us to enter some basic information to be applied to all included books..
It supports tags for now, but other items are needed as well, such as:
1- Acquired date.
2-From Where?
3-Comment

Above items may be enough...

(There are cases when we receive 100+ books, which have same acquired date, same place, same comment- but now we have to enter them one by one just because bulk import doesn`t allow adding these details till now).

"From Where" can be changed in bulk using the Power Edit feature of your cataog (as can tags, collections, language, and a few other properties, but not comments and aquired date). The Power Edit can be accessed from Your Books view... it's the tiny lightning bolt button.
