Better automatic collection creation/filtering #50

Open TimOliver opened 9 years ago

At the moment, when comics are imported, they are dumped in 'My Comics', leaving the user to manually pick them out and put them into another collection.

To get around this, I'm considering removing the 'automatic' import feature and making the whole process explicitly more manual.

The way I'm envisioning it would be that when new comics are added to iComics from iTunes, an 'import' button will appear. Tapping that button will show a list of all of the 'pending' comics that are in the file structure, but don't have a corresponding DB entry yet. These comics will also be automatically sorted into a 'preliminary' set of default collections, which the user can then modify as they see fit.

Obviously this will require a fair bit of UI work, as well as a fundamental change to the whole importing model, so it'll only be done when I get around to revamping the rest of that system. :)
