Allow filling series of numbers when importing

[KucharczykL]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I import/upgrade/mass edit large number of chapters, I need to manually click into each field and manually write each number.

For example, I have recently upgraded one particular series which had around 150 files. I had to manually write the numbers 1-150 and click into each of these fields (tabbing between them is not ideal because instead of going through the number fields only, the tab key focuses each of the buttons on each row in sequence).

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a button like Fill number series which would allow you to select a range (e.g. 1 to 150) and after clicking OK it would then fill the chapter numbers into all of the selected chapters.

Describe alternatives you've considered or other apps that can do what you want

Parsing a filename for a number. In Sonarr the TV show episodes are automatically assigned a season and episode number if the filename contains a recognized episode naming scheme.

The description you give only explains the mass upgrade scenario.

Can you expand on the need for import (without upgrade) and mass edit?

[KucharczykL]

I think most of these problems only happen with ongoing manga that has a mixture of volumes and chapters.

Mass edit

This is a new directory added to my library:

01.cbz
02.cbz
03.cbz
.
.
.
160.cbz
161.cbz
.
.
.

Komga will add the comic to the library and assign them numbers in sequence. So that it will be 01, 02, 03, 04 instead of 01, 02, 03, 160. This is both incorrect and also makes it harder to upgrade the files later when volume 04 comes out but I have assigned number 04 to something unrelated like chapter 160.

This example only has a few files but usually I have around 10 volumes but chapters go into the hundreds. That's a lot of manual editing.

Import (without upgrade)

I actually haven't used import without upgrading yet but I assume importing a large number of new chapters will be impacted the same way since numbers have to be entered manually one by one. On the other hand, being able to fill in the number series in the mass edit would probably alleviate this already.

For mass edition, there is already #628

[KucharczykL]

It does look similar enough. I will wait and see if/when that feature is implemented.
