SUGGESTION: Import ComicRack "Main Character" Metadata

Open sirreef opened this issue 11 years ago • 2 comments

Issue: Main Character is a metadata piece that stores the main character or group of the comic. A lot of people use this to organize their comics one level above "Series" (as suggested in the official ComicRack Organizer).

Suggestion: Import the "Main Character" metadata field when adding the files to the library and make that data available in the API. This will allow Chunky to import the data and provide a new way to access the comic library.

Currently, only the tags that written internally to the files are read into ComicStreamer's database. ComicRack doesn't write the "Main Character" tag to the file itself, but apparently just keeps it in its own database.

If I ever support importing directly from ComicRack, I will add this info.

That is just AWFUL news. Why would Main Character not be included in the info file. Seems short-sighted by the creators.
