Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When editing a book, the Tools menu should have the follow functions available:

  • Create metadata.json file if it doesn't already exist in the file system
  • Delete metadata.json file if it already exists in the file system
  • Create cover file if it doesn't exist in the file system
  • Delete cover file if it already exists in the file system

Why would this be helpful?

By default, the metadata.json and cover file creation is disabled unless enabled at the server level.

If you are migrating a book from one ABS library to another, having the cover/metadata.json file will help migrate the book data over to the new library.
