Based off of what kayone and I were talking about.
Add existing would be come a grid view that would show the path and the selected result, with an option to refine the search term to find the result you want as well as the other options.
Like series editor you can select all/some/range and change values en mass (change profile for all or use season folders for example).
Use http://brianreavis.github.io/selectize.js/ (Remote Source - Github as the selector for series).
Server side we would add each series to a queue (DB table) and process them one by one so we don't kill their computer with parallel requests.
Comment from linden3 on Trello:
Love this idea, immediately recognised this feature as missing. Took ages to import all of my shows yet I know all of the shows in the folder (save for a few) I would like to be monitored.

Just added 500 shows from sickbeard and this would have made it much smoother.
Needed this too, for those who need it in future;
url/addseries when there is many available to add$(".icon-sonarr-add").click(); and press enter.Warning, this will click all the add buttons.
Warning, this will click all the add buttons.
It will also queue up n series refreshes, with 3 running in parallel and effectively cripple Sonarr from running any other tasks. Probably best to restart Sonarr shortly after doing that to run a single task to refresh all the series one after another. (Also this is completely unsupported, so use at your own risk).
Thanks @malkstar! :+1:
Great work-around, adding existing library was getting tedious after about 3 shows :)
This is taken care of in the v3 UI work.
