I have it set to download thumbs automatically, but it is only pulling a couple here and there. All of the ones that it is missing have the cover on the site, its just not grabbing them unless I get it manually (which is a big pain with over 600 Spider-man).Sorry but I cannot do it better until the Comic Vine API do not return better results. The more difficult with automatic scrapping is to have the right item on the top a the search result.... and with the Comic Vine search engine API it is really hard to obtain it form the first try. So the automatic scrapping do not give good performance. But because the right item is most of the time into the first returned results, the semi-automatic scraping give always better result.
To have a good scraping you need a good database and a good scraper.... in this case the problem is the database.
Thanks for the good work. First time trying out digital comics and I am enjoying playing around with this feature.
