Mass Edits to Comic Locations
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2023 5:39 pm
Hey, I made some errors apparently a few months ago when I switched instances of Mylar3. All my comics still show up - but my naming scheme I made in the previous one doesn't look to be applied anymore and is replaced by the default. I'm wondering if there is a way to mass edit comic locations instead of having to go into each one. Like is there a spreadsheet view I can use to quickly manually edit these locations/directories quicker than opening each comic up?
Here's an example of what I mean: the default renaming option I have entered is $Publisher - $Series ($Year). But what I've been doing for years is when I add a series I manually edit that when adding it to include a character directory. So for example if it is a Batman/Robin/Gotham/Batgirl/Harley Quinn, etc etc series when I click to add it I first edit that name structure to include an extra folder "$Publisher - Batman/$Series ($Year). That way all my batman related comics get grouped together in one folder - and makes my library a lot cleaner.
Some how I messed up months ago without noticing it. And all my series in Mylar now show as being saved in the default Publisher - $Series ($Year). It didn't move the old files out - it has them marked as archived I think - and the new items imported get put in a new folder in the same directory where previously it was just the very big general groupings where they used to be inside them - like DC Comics - Batman.
