question for #2 on my Fixes list, what about just "sorting" the pages to find
the cover.
like in 7zip, if you go to view and uncheck sorted, then I see what comixed
currently does page 4 is first in a comic, but that sorted option nails it. So
maybe you dont need to make users pick the cover, just add sorting to the pages
to discover it. the first graphic file after sorting is the cover. And in the
cases where it isnt I will damn well delete whatever came first, lol

Subject: [comixed] Re: Summary of comments for .11 SNAPSHOT
personally once #1 and #2 on the Fixes portion of my summary here is handled, I
will be happy to import my entire collection (25K marvel books), but right now
I am stopping at 15 books, lol...added suggestion #4, and fix #3, was an option
in .10.5 up by the account button, now its gone...
Fixes by order of importance
1. The Cover Date seems to have two issues
* Sometimes Comixed has the correct cover date listed in details,
meaning it matches CV, and other times it does not
* Regardless of letter (a) the file naming is always wrong when using
the $COVERDATE variable.
2.
Allow for a right click on a page to "Assign as cover", then reorder/rebuild
and make it so.
3.
Cannot find option to change cover sizes.
4.
go to duplicate pages, click on a scanner tag page, in detail of the scanner
page choose to block pages like this, the popup then says UNBLOCK, but does
actually block like it should.
Suggestions
1. Allow for padded issue numbers 1 - 0001 (some series have 1000+) PLUS the
.HU .LR etc.
2. Annual integration
* A new $ANNUAL variable to use in file naming, and if an issue is an
annual then the word annual would be included, otherwise blank.
* Annuals would be stored along with the series they are attached to in
the same folder and not be a seperate folder or series.
* Linking annuals to series can "sometimes" be done via CV data, but
there also would need to be a way in the app GUI to manually link/unlink
annuals to series using CV ID's in order to corrrect faulty CV data or just
provide data when CV has none.
3. Name rules for scraping, provide something on that page to explain/detail
how it works.
4. Add ability to use Metron instead of CV, CV is
doomed....https://metron.cloud/

What? Metron is a community-based site whose goal is to build an open database
with a REST API for comics. Why? Currently the only comic book database the
provides a REST API for users is Comic Vine.Unfortunately, since it's a
corporately-owned service, the community that uses it has no control over the
amount of resources provided to maintain it or ensure it's continued
accessibility.
