Matching issue searches with one year room #118

Closed JaredVanderford closed 6 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Given the near end of the year and that many comics have a release date vs an instore date and that GetComics uses the in store date, many of the comics in my collection are not being matched and auto downloaded due to a "Year doesn't match" issue.

Describe the solution you'd like In addition to using the release date, using the in store date for the comic would make it more reliable when doing an auto search to find the correct issues.

In-store date and cover date can differ, at most, 1 year. Kapowarr gives 1 year of room when matching, so you shouldn't experience problems.

Either way, I was planning on converting the whole of Kapowarr to an in-store date application because it's indeed easier when searching on GetComics. The only thing holding me back was one thing: I couldn't find any evidence that GC was consistently using one of the two dates. So:

... and that GetComics uses the in store date ...

What is your source? How do you know for sure?

I guess I just made some assumptions, my apologies. Given what you said about the +-1 year in matching I don't understand why I'm seeing these errors so much lately. For example Catwoman 60 this week is failing with the year mismatch issue. I've included screenshots of what I'm seeing to hopefully better explain my confusion as to what's going on. Based on what you're saying sounds like this should be a bug on the mismatch and not a feature request. screencap

Ah I found the matching bug. I'll fix it soon.
