DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM:

i accidentally selected the incorrect series when scraping some files and now 
they are all named wrong i cant figure a way to either undo this or rescrape 
with the correct series (it doesnt prompt me to select the series anymore). i 
am sure i am missing something...

The scraper looks in the "Tags" field and the "Description" field for each 
comic book when scraping it.   If it finds something like "CVDB12345" in either 
of those fields, it means that the comic book it is scraping has been scraped 
before, so it will automatically repeat that previous scrape, rather than 
asking you to pick a new series.   

This is what is happening to you.

All you need to do to fix the problem is select all of the comics that you 
scraped using the wrong series, and edit them (right click -> "Info...") and 
then clear out the "Tags" and "Description" fields.    Once those "CVDB12345"'s 
are gone, the scraper will allow you to select a different series for those 
comics.

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

(In the future, I'll be adding an explicit checkbox to make it easier to do 
this.)
