Missing Issue Check

Missing Issue Check

Having various folders from various sources over many years, I wanted to be able to check and see if any issues were "missing" from a series.

When using File Manager or Collection to Browse - you will see Missing Issue Check in the drop-down menu.

Missing Issue Check

Running this feature on my /data/Valiant directory, generated the following missing.txt file

Directory: /data/Valiant/Eternal Warrior/v1992
Eternal Warrior 008 (1992).cbz

Directory: /data/Valiant/Harbinger Wars 2 (2018)
Harbinger Wars 001 (2018).cbz

Directory: /data/Valiant/Harbinger/v1992
Harbinger 011 (1992).cbz

Directory: /data/Valiant/The Valiant/v2014
The Valiant 001 (2015).cbz

Directory: /data/Valiant/X-O Manowar/v1992
X-O Manowar 050 (1992).cbz

Directory: /data/Valiant/X-O Manowar/v2012
X-O Manowar 005 (2012).cbz
X-O Manowar 006 (2012).cbz
X-O Manowar 007 (2012).cbz

Directory: /data/Valiant/X-O Manowar/v2017
X-O Manowar 001 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 002 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 003 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 004 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 005 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 006 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 007 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 008 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 009 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 010 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 011 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 012 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 013 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 014 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 015 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 016 (2018).cbz
X-O Manowar 017 (2018).cbz

From this, I can assume that in Directory: /data/Valiant/X-O Manowar/v2012 I am missing issues 001 - 004 and so on.

There is a threshold of 50 issues currently configured, so if more than 50 issues are missing of a series, the results will be truncated like so:

Series Name 071-499 (1998) [Total missing: 429]

This is useful when publishers revert to the original number of a long-running series and you have issues like 001 - 070, 500-542

Warning

This is not a "smart" feature and simply assumes each folder should have files starting with (#01, 01, 001) and the "last" file is the last alpha-numeric file in the folder.

Ignored Terms

See the System Settings page to configure ignored terms.

Missing.txt Files

By default, the missing.txt files are created in the same directory as the directory you are running the feature on. These files will now show in the Collection UI.

Missing.txt Files

Additionally, they can bew viewed from within the UI as well, by clicking the file.
