Hello. I'm a new user (just installed the plugin now) and I could use some help. Or maybe I'm not understanding what it is supposed to do.

I have installed the plugin.

I have created two custom fields in my installation - as described in the first page of this thread. One for the Comic Vine Link, and one for the Penciller.

I have hit the "configure" button for the addon and linked those two fields to my new custom fields.

I did a search on comic vine for a comic that I've added to Calibre. I found the following url applies to the issue in question:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/batma...r/4000-118290/

So, I put that value into my custom field for Comic Vine Link.

And then I clicked the Import Comic Metadata button.

It seems to think that it worked. I see a dialog that says something like "
Updated Calibre Metadata: Updated calibre metadata for 1 book(s)"

But I don't see the Penciller field filled in.

I somehow thought that the purpose of this plugin was to browse to the provided url and grab all the data (such as penciller, inker, whatever) and plug that info into the field that I had provided for the data.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks!
Travis
