Add a "Show Issues" button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When you are in the "series" dialog, sometimes you can't be sure that
you've chosen the correct series just by looking at the cover on the first
issue.

While it would be really nice to display the cover for the issue that you
are scraping, technical difficulties (with the ComicVine API) make this
impossible for now.

As a second-best solution, adding a "Show Issues" button to the series
dialog would allow the user to force the scraper to do into the series
dialog, where the user could then confirm their choice.

(Also, it would be cool if the "right" issue number was automatically
highlighted when the user did this.)

Implemented in 1.0.22.

I'm quite pleased with how this feature turned out; it's now much easier to 
scrape
comic books confidently.

Really great feature. It partially replaces " Issue 56: Pull cover for issue 
being
scrapped instead or in addition to first issue in series".

Isnt it possible to use the same technique to get the right issue cover to 
show?

No, unfortunately you still need to download info about every single comic book 
in
the series before you can know where to find the cover art for the issue that 
you're
scraping.  It's faster once the series has been cached, but way too slow for 
series
that you haven't seen before.

Comic Vine could solve this problem (not to mention a bunch of other issues in 
the
scraper) if they would just include the issue numbers in the results for the 
original
series search--I can't imagine it would be that hard for them to do, since they
already include a bunch of other issue details.   But so far, they seem to be
completely ignoring all my requests to do this.  (They don't even say "no,
sorry"...they just don't answer.  It's very annoying.)
