Ability to ignore publishers in search results

Post by max6166 »

For example, I have interest in anything from Panini Comics, so it would be great to be able to permanently exclude them from searches.

This could even just be a text list in config.ini of publisher names that would be excluded from search results.

Definitely doable - I don't know if having the option within the config.ini would be the best location (not that I'm against it, it's just getting to be ALOT of stuff in there that's not in the GUI and having someone enter in the publisher names seems like a great way to ride the problem train). These alternate publishers have been a problem since day one and they seem to be causing a lot of problems for people doing importing as Mylar gets confused since there is more than one series that would match what it thinks, and it can't auto-add it.

Will look into this more and see what I can come up with...

any resolution for this ?
I got all the Locke and Key volumes indexed properly, except the first series - which got indexed to Panini comics...can I manually set the publisher at least ? Like with alternate name ?...
thanks

It's in the development branch.

Edit the config.ini and edit the field labelled as blacklisted_publishers

Just make sure to specify the complete publisher name for it to match:

Code: Select all

blacklisted_publishers = panini comics, marvel UK, Planeta Manga

Do you have to restart for any config.ini change?

You can't edit the file while mylar is running as there are occasionally writes to the config which would hammer any changes that you made. Shutting mylar down prior to editing the config, ensures that only the edit is the only action accessing the file.
