Zotero can look up metadata if you add a PDF to your library

Zotero can not update metadata for a PDF you already have in your library

Hence, adding an existing library means you have to do it manually for each pdf This is bad design, because the functionality exists, but it's implemented in a way that makes everything complicated for no reason at all.

Why disable the "lookup metadata" button for a pdf which is already in a library? WHYYYYY
