Skip Dialog needed on the rename pop-up #74

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Now that the scraper will prompt you for a new name for a series that isn't
recognized (which is awesome BTW), a skip function is needed on the rename
pop-up because if the series doesn't exist at all, you are caught in a
renaming loop that you can't end without hitting cancel which ends the scrape.

For example I have a series called "RevQuixo's Comics" (which of course
doesn't exist).  The script correctly ascertains that this doesn't exist at
CR...and then asks me to rename it.  There is nothing, however, to rename
it to.  If I have this queued with a bunch of other comics in a scrape, my
flow is disrupted because my only option is to cancel.

hmmm...this may be tricky, since that dialog doesn't really have any way to add 
extra
buttons to it (it's a standard VB "input" dialog).  Perhaps I can find a way to 
use a
different kind of dialog here (or even write my own) that will let me add a skip
button.  I agree that it would be a nice improvement--I ran into the same issue 
when
I was scraping my own comics.

In the meantime, you can work around this by just searching for some other 
series
that obviously WILL have some results ("conan", "spiderman", etc) and then 
clicking
skip on the series chooser that pops up.
