Variant cover handling #2280

Closed Otsdarva68 closed 5 years ago

Otsdarva68 commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug Mylar is pulling variant-cover-only nzbs thinking they are the full issue. It would be cool if it could recognize variant covers from usenet and include them in the same folder with a different name. I doubt this is the first time anyone has experienced this; is there a known workaround/fix?

Environment (please complete the following information):

The only workaround atm is to set your minimum filesize to something like 10mb (or less, but 10 is usualy a safe bet) - that way it will avoid any releases that are just covers only in most cases, while still being able to grab normal releases.

Unfortunately, with the complete lack of filename standards for comics, being able to extract variant only covers just from a filename is really tough - not impossible. It might be a doable item at some point in the near future, albeit right now I believe myself and the other devs that contribute are knee-deep in other mylar-related items that are taking all of our free coding time.

Minimum filesize; I should have thought of that. Thanks!
