Hello,

I use the import from ComicInfo.xml functionality of this plugin and am wanting to know how I might go about including ID's to be imported.

I would like to include a goodreads id, such as goodreads:7967 somewhere in the ComicInfo.xml file, which when the plugin reads from the .cbz and imports, that id will be added to the Ids field for that book.

I've used custom columns for things like genres, however I'm not sure how I might make this work. Any ideas?

I've heard something about Calibre being able to parse info from different columns, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing that. If I could then I would simply include the id in the .xml <summary> tag and then use regex to find and copy it to the ID's field. Is something like that possible?
