Bug Description

When importing a Bible, OpenLP asks for name/copyright/permission information. It isn't obvious what will happen to this at time, and if for example you were to type in the whole caboodle of NIV copyright information it looks incredibly ugly and truncated on the single line that it displays on.

Therefore the ability to edit this meta data later is required to fine tune it.

In addition many Bibles only require you to show the official abbreviation for that Bible, e.g. from http://www.zondervan.com/Cultures/en-US/Company/Policy/Rights/NIV.htm?QueryStringSite=Zondervan

When quotations from the NIV, TNIV, NIrV texts are used in such non-commercial media as church bulletins, orders of service, bulletin boards, posters not offered for sale, overhead projection transparencies not offered for sale, or similar media used in the course of religious instruction or services at a place of worship or other religious assembly, the following notice may be used at the end of each quotation: (NIV, TNIV, NIrV).

So the option to only show the Bible name would be useful and not display the copyright information.

Finally if you do manage to enter the relevant information, then it needs to strip trailing spaces so (NIV) is shown rather than (NIV ).

Who ever tackles this, may also takes care of a "book" editor (edit book names). This is helpful when you are using an non English bible and want to translate the book names.

This might not be necessary, see bug #822363.
