[FEATURE REQUEST] Story arc support for Mylar-organized library? #25

Open cbarrerah opened 9 years ago

cbarrerah commented 9 years ago

Hi, First of all, great work on this nifty piece of code, it was the cog that made all my comic-enjoying system work ^.^

I use Mylar to manage and organize my comic collection, and they have recently adde the option to manage story arcs (Convergence, Identity Crisis, etc...), would it be possible to add a new categorization in the database sorting to recognize them?

That way, when accessing the comic collection from Chunky, i can dowload the whole story arc without the need to fetch individual comics.

Thanks in advance and keep being great!

I don't know enough Mylar. I took a quick look and it seems basically a download manager for comics. If downloaded comics contain tags (in ComicRack's format for example) then story arcs should be already supported, at least at database level.

Yes, the only addition needed is a "Story Arcs->" section in the interface presented when using the API. I'm talking about the database viewed from Chunky, for example.

I have the exact same setup, comics downloaded, organised and tagged by Mylar and then read through Chunky. If a Story Arcs section was exposed through the API, it really would make this the most amazing way of streaming and reading comics!

I'd be happy to add this feature, but I need some more detailed specification. Unfortunately I don't have Chunky for testing so I'm trying to guess. The current api allows to filter per story arc with the comiclist endpoint, eg:

http://localhost:32500/comiclist?storyarc=test%

Storyarcs are also available from the entities endpoint, eg:

http://localhost:32500/entities/storyarcs/

So it seems the building blocks are already in place. Maybe is it possible that Chunky doesn't support it?

Just thought I'd toss my 2 cents in, for what it's worth. Chunky has a free version now, and, in my experience, the developer is fairly responsive. You'll need an iPad though, which might be an issue.

Yep, CS offers the APIs to do it, Chunky just doesn't support it right now. It's a super-easy addition, it just never occurred to me :-/

Should be in the next update.

PS: If there are any other requests for additions to the root menu, now's the time to ask!

Sorry if it's not the right place, but along with story arc, maybe being able to re-order the comics in a group w/o having to rename them. Took me a long time to figure out I could rename them with a number to put them in the order I needed them in. Love your comic reader, use it every day!
