Only download TPB's for TPB releases #27

I think one thing confusing people is Kapowarr prioritizes TPB over single issues. It downloads a single TPB marking all the issues as downloaded. For me, that is fine but others may like single issues as small file sizes instead of downloading the full TPB at a larger file size.

So an option to choose which volume type to prioritize would be nice. TPB or Single Issue on downloads.

This actually comes down to a different problem.

ComicVine has separate entries in it's database for TPB releases of (part of) volumes. So Kapowarr shouldn't download a TPB in any case, unless the volume is specifically a TPB-volume of ComicVine, often only having one "issue": the TPB.

Take "Silver Surfer Rebirth" for example. On ComicVine, you have the normal "issue release" (link), but you also have a "TPB release" (link). So if you add an issue-release, Kapowarr shouldn't download any TPB at all for it, and vice versa. And thus we'll never have a situation where we can download a TPB or a set of issues for the same ComicVine release. So also no need to implement some sort of "preference".

The reason that I didn't make Kapowarr work like this on release, is because at the time I didn't know ComicVine did it like this.

+1 on not downloading TPB. Is there any ETA?

The best way to know what the ETA is of something, is to check the project board. You'll see that it's almost at the top of "Handled Soon", which means that it'll almost be the very next thing that will be fixed.
