Describe the feature/enhancement

I recently started updating the authors of my audio books. I noticed that there is not the same logic in this area (normal scan and force complete scan) as with the libraries. Here there is only a complete new scan of all authors, which overwrites the author information and images I added manually.

My suggestion would be to introduce the same logic for the authors as for the libraries. That is, a normal scan in which only authors who do not yet have any information are updated and then a complete scan in which all authors are updated, regardless of whether they have information or not.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Can you give reproduction steps on overwriting author information?

Author information shouldn't get overwritten
