and then being able to "update" the Library or Folder and rescan the deleted book. Or, allow YACLibrary to "delete" a comic book from the database without actually deleting the physical comic book. Allow for YACLibrary to "rescan" a comic or a bunch of comics for the presence or lack thereof of embedded data. Allow for YACLibrary to delete the embedded ComicInfo.xml file in bulk or individually for comics, and then.Ĥ. Allow for YACLibrary to write its DB info to ComicInfo.xml files, updating one if it is there. Allow for the reading of embedded ComicInfo.xml files to be turned OFF when scanning new books or creating new libraries.Ģ. Some suggestions for future YACLibrary releases. Well, doing that for tens of thousands of comics manually is not in the cards. My only solution left was to open the CBZ file, delete the ComicInfo.xml file and then rescan it into YACLibrary. Plus, we're talking about A LOT of comics that needed updating. So, if I ever want to create/move a Library, all of my changes will get lost.
#Comicrack vs yacreader update
Sure you can "edit" the comic and update the YACLibrary DB, but that info does not get written out to the embedded ComicInfo.xml. You can't turn off YACLibrary reading the embedded ComicInfo.xml file. I will simply turn off the reading of the embedded metadata when importing comics and go back exlusively to my previous system of perfectly named and sorted comic books being what I see in YACLibrary. My beautifully sorted and organized comics were no longer displaying as such in YACLibrary.
#Comicrack vs yacreader series
YACLibrary does not fully support all of the embedded data that ComicRack used, so things like Alternate Series and Numbering was ignored, and YACLibrary also does not deal with fractional issue numbers very well, like 532.1.īottom line, it was a hot mess after my re-import. I also did not have complete embedded info for many titles, so the ones without embedded data were getting sorted to the bottom of any list. those comics now did not sort by filename in YACLibrary. imagine my surprise when all of those thousands of comics were now getting sorted by their embedded ComicInfo.xml embedded files instead of their folder names!įor some straight issue runs, it was no problem, as I had complete metadata for them in the ComicInfo.xml files, but for any comics where I had changed the file names to sort them a certain way, like a Civil War reading order. I then removed the existing Library in YACLibrary and created three new ones and began re-importing. I moved the CBZ files around in Windows, created new folders, renamed a few, etc. I decided to split my one large Comics library into a DC Library a Marvel Library and an Indie Library. YACLibrary does not "rescan" a comic and pull the embedded info, so I was none the wiser that embedded metadata was now supported.īut, I got a wild hair the other day, and decided that I was going to re-organize one of my very large YACLibraries into a few smaller libraries. However, I did not initially know this, as my YACLibrary had been created before embedded metadata was supported. So, fast-forward to the present, and YACLibrary can now read the metadata embedded in ComicInfo.xml when scanning comics. so I renamed my entire comic book collection as I imported it into YACLibrary, making sure the CBZ names were what I wanted them to be for the purposes of sorting and organization. When I switched from ComicRack to YACLibrary, embedded data in a ComicInfo.xml was not supported, but that was OK, as I wanted to re-do my comics organization into new folders and such.
I had downloaded ComicVine information for almost all of my comics and had curated it in ComicRack, embedding a ComicInfo.xml file in each converted CBZ. I used to use ComicRack, but switched over to YACLibrary a while ago.
