Story Arc Script

[CuddleBear92]

We need a script to generate Story Arc files (Example)

There is another program that generates the files, but they it is requiring a ton of manual work.

or mirror of UUC here

Instead of that, it could maybe be done one of multiple ways.

Top of the list would be parsing Comic Book Reading Orders.
But i believe the files need a filename of the actual archive. (need more info on this!)

Alternative is to scrape ComicVine but again, filename. This might be able to use the filename if it searches for the cvinfo file as it contains ComicVine urls to the Series/Volume itself but not the Story Arc, could be scraped for.... this is prob the most code intensive.

The Last option would be to rely on ComicRack as a whole and allow it to export and generate from selected files with either the Story Arc or Alternative Series field filled (Comicvine Scraper fills Alt as it can also use Alt issue numbers).
This way the script has full access to the filenames and all metadata within ComicRack.
ComicRack Should load any Python code in theory.
Sadly the website and wiki is dead at this moment.

Guess one could also play with a conversion script from comicbook lists and comicbook reading order exports from ComicRack.
