Add the ability to claim orphaned downloaded files in cases where the server itself is the same as the one that the download belonged to, but it's address merely changed.
Why would this be helpful?
I recently migrated my docker-managed server from Computer A with IP address 192.168.1.6 to Computer B with IP address 192.168.1.7. I then changed the Static IP of Computer B to 192.168.1.8. For each of these changes, all of my locally downloaded books showed this message:
Media is linked to an Audiobookshelf serer on a different address (<address>). Progress will be synced when connected to this server address.
I had to delete all of my locally downloaded books and re-download them each time my server's IP changed, which is a process I feel the app could handle doing itself.
Future Implementation (Screenshot)
This could be a button shown on the dialog box. The button would kick off a process to match the orphaned book to the newly connected server (in my case, it'd be the same one it belonged to, but just had a different IP address). This process could succeed or fail. A warning to the user that the downloaded media would no longer be linked to the old server feels like it would apply here.
