Series numbering sometimes incorrect
When I'm using the "Edit metadata individually > Download metadata" to add missing info, I noticed that sometimes the downloaded series number when pressing "Ok" on "Edit metadata individually" is not used, but replaced by what seems the last known series number + 1.
It does not happen always, most of the time the downloaded series number is correctly used. There seems not to be a specific setup to reproduce it, but it happens often enough to monitor each update to be sure. Anybody a clue? Last edited by DrChiper; 01-19-2012 at 11:20 AM. |

Sometimes the source numbering an I do not agree on the proper placement of full volumes (short stories in Anthologies are not full volumes and I assign a series number fraction ie 4.5, 0.2) within the series. Some series have clear numbering on the cover, others are simply the (original, first) Publication order. |

Well it seems to happen both when there was no previous series number at all, and when there is an old (prefilled) one. But as said, it only happens once in a while.

The series index is set according to the series tweak (series_index_auto_increment) if the series name changes in some way, including case changes.
Looking at the code, my guess is that in your odd cases the series name is changing to a name that already exists, which will cause the series index to be updated according to the tweak. My reading implies that the signal that triggers this update occurs after the downloaded index value is written into the series_index box, with the result that the downloaded value is replaced by the computed value. I agree that this is not desired behavior. I suggest you file a bug report. |

@Chaley, as i'm updating metadata, serie names certainly may change once a while, so it seems plausable.
I filed it as a possible bug #918751 Thanks for the response |
