Thanks for your reply. I was afraid that this would be the situation. It is pretty useless to import 400+ cbz/cbr into Marvin only to be forced to manually edit each file's metadata to show the files properly within Marvin.

I realize that this is an inherent weakness of the cbz/cbr format since neither support metadata given that they are simply renamed zip and rar folders with numbered images. However, I would have thought that Marvin would be able to parse the filename and populate its metadata. This could be based on a pre-set template for filenaming "Title - Author - Series" or something similar. Then Marvin reads the filename and populates the metadata.

Again, thanks for the response.
