Open current viewed issue in default browser #466

Hey, would love to have the option to open the currently viewed issue im looking at in my default browser instead of looking it up in a browser manually. Since the multiple covers loading is broken and all that. If URL's can't be pulled then you can just do the ID to the post and prefix it with like https://comicvine.gamespot.com/1/ for like id: 4000-130247 to make the url https://comicvine.gamespot.com/1/4000-130247/

Seems the second part of the url the /1/ can be anything and doesnt matter at all. aslong as the id is correct then it will open the correct issue.

This would be mostly a workaround for the multiple covers issue ofc and manual verification.

Would do placements here: 1 2

Guess this is the code for the more covers loader. hmm since more covers isnt supported in the api, replacing it with the issue url there atleast would be useful.

A volume link on the series page itself could also see use.

It could also be embedded in the text of the title in question at the very top, says what series it is there on the issue page. Making that title clickable with the url to the volume would make sense.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I'm not doing active development on Comic Vine Scraper these days -- just the minimum amount of maintenance needed to keep it up and running.

So it's not likely that I'll be implementing this anytime soon. I'll leave the github issue open, however, because I do think this would be a good improvement. Maybe someday someone will do it.

CuddleBear92 commented 4 years ago

Well, its github. the issue can be for anyone wanting to do it and know python.

Sadly my skills are next to none. hmm Maybe i should look into it.

Find it annoying that we cant load the volumes easily but rather need to search them up manually by hand in the browser when the scraper has the info :)

PS: also did a pull for more imprints.
