Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the Feature/Enhancement
Add Tools in Library for the following functions:
An existing metadata.json file assists with migrating data when moving an audiobook from one library to another.
Why would this be helpful?
As currently implemented, the Tools only allows for the removal of metadata.json files. There is an option to store metadata.json and covers files in the book directory at the server level.
However, that only affects new additions to a library, not existing items.
In addition, an existing metadata.json file helps when migrating a book from one library to another.

I'm currently trying to organise my library better and would love the option to create (move) the metadata.json and cover.jpg files from the metadata folder into the relevant library folders.
