Collections

It would be great if collections could be created automatically from metadata fields.

I would like to use the Series Group field from ComicRack metadata (#54) to group related series.

Just thinking out loud here: Why not something similar to what Plex does? At library level there could be available all the different characteristics/properties of series/books and sorting details .. then you choose what ever you want: Publisher and/or Series and/or StoryArc plus order by name or date added plus series ended or ongoing plus series that are unread or in-progress .. and then an option to create a collection from it (In Plex is a Playlist or Smart Playlist).

That file seems to be an old version. There are a number of missing fields: Characters, Teams, Locations, ScanInformation, StoryArc, SeriesGroup, AgeRating

This one looks accurate: https://github.com/wyldphyre/ComicArchive/blob/master/ComicArchive/ComicRack/ComicInfo.xsd

Once collections are there I plan to add a helper to easily create collections from subfolders, and I could have one that would create collections from the SeriesGroup field in ComicInfo too.

There's no Series Group in ComicInfo as far as the spec says.

Thanks, that's very useful. How does this SeriesGroup work or is expected to behave then? You just put a string key, and then you can see all the Series that have the same key?

Yes, but I mainly thought about the issue of displaying Series located in subfolders as mentioned here: #46

I would like to see Series grouped under SeriesGroup:

Manga
├── Series A
├── Series B
├── SeriesGroup C (Collection)
│   ├── Series C1
│   ├── Series C2
...

I just added Sort Title for series, so for now at least you can see series grouped together, even if the title is very different, without changing your folder names.

That's an entirely different feature. Plex has collections, that's what I want to replicate here. Feel free to open a feature request for smart playlists.
