Yes, I know that you can run ABB with multiple instances, but it gets confusing and even with 3 running, I spend a lot of time waiting.
What I would like to do:
Do the Cover stuff. Art, author, title. Drop the files into the files window. The list of files is accepted immediately. No copying happens yet.
On that pane there is a build button. Clicking Build immediately queues the job in the batch processor, and you can start the next book.
A third tab allows you to monitor the build process.
By default there is no abb file for a job. Instead it can be reconstructed from the log of the build process log.
In doing this, I can start 20-30 books and let it chug away all night.
And yes, I would be willing to buy ABB 2.0 to get these features.
