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
1. Sometimes Comixed has the correct cover date listed in details,
meaning it matches CV, and other times it does not
2. 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
1. 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.
2. Annuals would be stored along with the series they are attached
to in the same folder and not be a seperate folder or series.
3. 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....

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.
