Scan Comic Library does exactly what it says it does on the description for it - it will scan in a location containing comics and attempt to parse the information in order to add them into your watchlist. Do not set the scan location to your Comic Location as then it will create a circular reference and attempt to import comics onto itself which is not what you want. If you don't want to move your comics from w/e location into your ComicLocation path, as your comics may already reside in the ComicLocation path, use the
Set import paths to series location paths option so that it will not move the files, but set the series paths for files detected during the import to the path that's being scanned in (mylar will monitor that location for the specific series scanned in, not the ComicLocation path)
Scan Comic Library is referred to as importing - which is different than post-processing. Importing will only import files that belong to series that are not on your watchlist. Post-processing will process files that belong to series that are on your watchlist. The two do not overlap, ever.
If you can 'remove' the series from the importer than that usually means that they were imported successfully. You should see the status change to Imported, which is hyperlinked to the related series page within Mylar (depending on what your'e doing you might have to refresh the page for the status' to correctly show in some cases). If it says they were Imported - then they should appear on your watchlist (main home page) with the directory location for the series being within the ComicLocation path, or if you use the
Set import paths to series location paths option I mentioned above, it will be where the series files originally are located (and still are).
The Status for one unrecognized example reads "No Results" (for what?).
You're misunderstanding what the import process entails. It first has to scan in all your physical files, parse them for metadata if it exists, and if not or if it's incomplete, attempt to parse the filename for information. Once it completes that aspect, you can view the results on the Import Results Management page to see what Mylar figured out. If it's correct you can then use the
import option beside each result to try to get Mylar to import that particular set into your watchlist.
The result of this is dependent on lots of different things - how you have your files named, if they have any relevant metadata, if the determined series name matches up to what's on CV, if the volume indicated is the correct one, etc. So if it says 'no results' then it couldn't determine what the file was even after doing all of that - which usually means either your filename is named something completely different than what it is, or the filename convention being used is causing false negatives (I say 'usually' - obviously there are other reasons it could throw back a no results).
If you can see the comics on the series detail page as Downloaded - that means they've been physically found in the location for the particular series (the 'Directory' location near the top of every series page). 'Archived' means the file was at one point determined to be present, but it can't be scanned in now - either the file has been physically removed, or it's been renamed to something that can't be parsed.
Mylar sees the file, more or less recognizes it correctly and then … fails it?
It doesn't recognise, which is why it's thrown into the `Failed Files` portion.
I have no clue what it was that you were trying to check, or what series, or what the filename was - so I can't really offer any kind of solution since I don't know how the file was named in the first place, which is kinda important. You'd have to paste that exact same snippet as above, but without anything edited out --> think of it this way, if you're asking a mechanic for help and tell the mechanic that your <blank> vehicle is making weird noises that sound like <blank>....you're not gonna get the response you're needing.
If you want Mylar to detect the file, if it's in the proper location, you'll need to divulge that filename (it doesn't have to be scary - everyone is doing it).
