Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

At the moment when new items are scanned in the library the matching does not automatically run, so ISBN and other information will most likely be empty.

Would it be possible to have an option to automatically trigger a library match after scan?
I apologize in advance if the feature already exists, but I couldn't find anything like this, either in the docs or in the app.
Thank you

Why would this be helpful?

I use ABS as a media server backend for my own frontend, and this makes it hard to match items between ABS and my DB.
I have to trigger an API call to match every time I am scanning the ABS library, which is very inneficient.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Add a Match automatically after scan option at library level

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.33.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
