Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When a new book is added (manually / searched) the default state is Finished.
The default type for the new book is paperback.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if the user could set the default status of newly added books (Finished / In progress / For later).
And default type of book (Paperback / Hardcover / E-Book / Audiobook)

Describe alternatives you've considered
When adding new books, no status and type (binding) would set up automatically and the person would have to specify it themselves.

I would request this to be added for all fields. I was going to make a similar request for the book format field. It defaults to "paperback". However, for me, a vast majority of my physical books are hardcover. I also hope to be adding in my collection of ebooks and when I do that, I'd temporarily change the default format.

Of the nearly 2000 physical books I own, I'd guess that between 100-150 are paperback and the rest are hardcover. So it would be much more convenient to set that as default.

I've modified the feature request to include this. Great idea, thanks!

Thank you for reporting!

In the 1.0 version we had a feature that the book status was set depending where user was when starting adding a new book (which list of books was open). So now I re-implemented the feature I hope it will be easier now and intuitive!

And I added an option in settings to set default book format for new books.
