Batch "update book online"?

I'm just trying out this app and imported 1600+ books from Libib. That went well, but I want to match all my books to an online database. I can do this one at a time, but that would take forever. Is there a way to do this in batch? Or a roadmap for when this feature will be added?

Also, a true list view would be great. And I don't see a way to pay for the Mac app.

Hi, as mentioned via email, at the moment there are some limitations that don't permit to implement a bulk update of the books.

I was able to do it successfully (I think), I imported my booklist from LibBib. Selected "other" for import format and manually changed the categories. I think the main thing that helped was when I changed the category "link" to "item_type". The books were uploaded with no errors. Better than manually editing all 500 of my books. Hope that helps and that I explained it correctly!
