Description
Add a feature to search for ISBN in file and add it to metadata, this would really speed up getting metadata for big amounts of books. I usually do this manually. In most books that i have seen (95% of my ebooks are chm and pdf) its in line which looks like this. ISNB: xxxxxxxxxx
Maybe go even further and scan file for ISBN and then give several choices from online databases in case that program is unsure that ISBN is correctly read,or there are multiple ISBNs in book.

Is this tested? I dont know how to use it.. What i had in mind is that i can select books and then call this function on them. Or maybe on adding .pdf files. I tried about 10 books and i still have to do it manually.(View file, CTRL+F: ISBN and copy isbn to metadata) Maybe addding one more button in Edit Meta Information?
