Helpful hints:

  • Ensure Comic Location is specified in the configuration (Configuration --> Web Interface --> Comic Location)
    • Mylar auto-creates the comic series directories under the Comic Location. The directory is displayed on the Comic Detail page).
    • If you do not want directories to be created until there are issues present, set create_folders = False in the config.ini.
  • A search provider needs to be specified to perform any search-related functions
  • Enabling Automatically Mark Upcoming Issues as Wanted in settings will mark any NEW comic from the Pullist that is on your 'watchlist' as wanted
  • Add a comic (series) using the Search button or via the Weekly tab (which shows the weekly Pull-list).
  • If you know the CV comicid, enter the full id into the search box (ie. 4050-XXXXX)
  • If adding a comic fails with "Error", submit a bug and it will be checked out (usually an easy fix)
  • Post-Processing is for adding new issues into existing series on your watchlist, Import is for adding files for series that don't exist on your watchlist into your watchlist
  • For the most up-to-date build, use the python3-dev build
    • Master doesn't get updated as frequently (> month), and python3-dev is more-or-less stable
  • If your comic collection resides on a different computer than your Mylar installation and you have that location as your ComicLocation path - turn OFF enforce permissions (Mylar cannot enforce permissions across different systems).
