[Kavita] Manual Merging of Files

[Speiger]

Idea Description

You can not control how your books are delivered.
Yes there are tools to convert them to the approiate type (sometimes) but the quality is good or crap, and that is something you can attempt to fight or you provide a tool to merge them manually.
That is something i request.
Allow users to manually merge books in the same series.
It doesn't have to edit metadata or something it can be a separate database honestly.

I already read with: Mixed File types is not going to be supported due to reader skipping.
My suggestions:

• Force users to have the same type.
• Implement an auto switcher/ejector of the current reader. Second one should be easy to implement.

Already confirmed on discord that this feature will not be implemented.
They rather want users to use 3rd party software to fix metadata and if that doesn't work to turn it into something that doesn't trigger metadata processors so that it is fixed there.

Manual overrides are not desired.
