I'm still using the original plugin, I'm still running v4.x of Calibre.
To your notes, if you specify the comicvine-author field, it should largely ignore title search (since it has the volume information) and looks for a number it can match to a issue. If you specify comicvine it usually ignores all fields since it has a exact issue to match off of. At least that's been my experience. I usually flag volume for ones where I don't get hits since most of them I'll already have an issue that has the volume field applied and can copy/paste faster.

I've done a new release just now, fixing search on authors as well as main cover download. Adding an author lets the plugin cut down on the number of issues returned significantly, and speeds up the search and increases accuracy of the returned results. I still don't get any decent results from comicvine if I miss some significant word from the title, but that also happens on the site (eg. searching for "Heavy Metal" instead of "Heavy Metal Magazine").
The new release, v0-13-0, is here. |
