TPB Handling

Post by timelar »

New User here,

Trying to understand how get TPB organized better, given ComicVine seems to give some of volume, a unique name, so they go into separate directories. with no sensible reading order. Is there some way in Mylar to get it put them all in the same directory.

As an example

Usage Yojimbo volumes 1 - 7 are in the directory 'Usagi Yojimbo (1987)' but volume 9 is in 'Usagi Yojimbo Daisho 1998)'

It's all based off of how CV has the volumes.

Mylar will only track the issues it knows exist for a given volume in a specific directory. If you overlap that directory with several volumes, it's not going to work very well (or at all), as that's not how it's intended to work.

Avoid TPB's if you're trying to collect the entire run of a series and want them in one directory - that's pretty much the only solution. Reading orders are far easier with singles than with trade compilations, and usually the reading software will allow you to create reading lists as you desire (Komga, Kavita, codex).
