![]() Well, if the search does not find what you are looking for (and it rarely does for me) then I have to select "back" type in the title and then go. As is, you select - lets say - 50 comics, and you choose to download tags from comic vine. By this I mean that when you go to tag multiple comics at once, there should be a feature that allows you set the series title you are searching for right away. Please let me know if you need me to clarify.Ģ. To me, this is a must for YAC Scraper, as the best part about YAC Library (to me) is that as a collection grows, you just have to refresh the library and boom, they are all there. Again, this is fine for the initial tagging, but not for additions to a collection. The way it is set up now, if you want to bulk tag, you have to have every single comic in the comic vine database for that series, in the same exact order. well, you either have to do them individually, or do #1-25 (with 1-20 already tagged). Make sure they are in the right order, go in, find the right series, make sure they line up and run. ok, so what does that mean? Well, it is easy enough if you have an entire group to tag (Lets say Batman #1-20). Tagging a group of comics should be easier. I have really been getting into tagging my comics using YACLibrary's Beta comic vine scraper, and I have a few more suggestions:ġ. Having said that, I think many would be happy with ComicRack and if it develops like I hope I'll be using it as my only comic browser and viewer as well.He is much better at articulating the issue. (Linux has some good comic viewers that show thumbnails too.) ![]() I did find one method but it was a little messy. If I can find an easy way to create thumbnails of my CBR and CBZ files in Windows Explorer I'll most likely stick with CDisplay. ![]() I can easily organize my comics in Windows Explorer and batch rename, if necessary, using the free app ExplorerXP. For now:Īs much as I love this program, I still prefer to read my comics with CDisplay. I have no idea how close any of these sites are for providing the ability to search and update each of your comics fields for even superior organization (and finding missing comics). In fact, I find CDisplay v1.8 to be essentially perfect.ĭesired features for ComicRack (found in CDisplay):ġ) tiny or no cursor when viewing the comicġ) "Open with" for right-clicking comic icon/thumbnail in folder view and viewing comic with another program (like CDisplay, though I can see why this option isn't there)Ģ) option to use Windows Explorer, especially direct integration with Vista for quick thumbnail generation and resize.ģ) Batch resize of entire collection (such as: all non-Jpgs to high quality Jpg and all pictures greater than 1400pixels in height reduced)Ĥ) Comic Book Database functionality (similar to MP3 tagging). However, despite being a great viewer as well it's missing 2 key features that I can't live without. I really love the ability to view the cover (the first picture) as a thumbnail. Simply a must-have for those with a large comic collection. There's a growing demand for quality CBR/CBZ tools like these.Īwesome. Perhaps look for a Thumbnail plugin for Windows Explorer. Try ComicRack and periodically Google for a similar program to provide Database and Thumbnail creation features. rename/tagging of files that's really easy to use (possibly able to compare the cover JPG) Windows Explorer can display thumbnails (without building a separate index) Viewer with all the features of CDisplay (or option to open with CDisplay) I added a comic tool in Ubuntu which added thumbnails to the equivalent of Windows Explorer but I couldn't find a Linux equivalent of CDisplay and I couldn't get WINE+CDisplay to function properly. I'm currently trying to find a good way to show thumbnails in Windows Explorer (thumbnail of the the 1st image). I still love CDisplay I doubt I'll replace it. I tried to add a folder but nothing showed up. I couldn't get the latest version (0.9.95) to work in Vista. The cluttered interface began to annoy me. I eventually quite using it entirely though I have hopes that it or another program will improve.
