Rescan the library (not only the xml) was created by alext41
Hi, when replacing files with new versions that e.g. have more pages or less, it would be great to have an option to rescan a folder or the hole library to have this changes in and the yacreader knows there is a "updated" version of the file in.

thx

I also noticed that thumbnails/covers are not updated when updating the library.
YACLibrary could detect that a file has been modified at this time, and thus rescan it, I think it is necessary that this is done automatically by the software.

Also an option from contextual menu (right-clic menu) to Rescan a book or a folder without updating the library would be a top notch feature.

Very much this! I have an extensive collection and have written some scripts to fix stuff like covers etc. in the files themselves as I spot them. Alas, I need to rescan the entire top-level folder, which takes quite a while, when I could just re-scan the folder I've touched. Getting the thumbnails to update would be important as well. As it stands, I have a number of comics for which I fixed the cover in the file that still appear wrong in the library. I guess I can delete them and re-scan the whole thing, but that clearly is not the best way do do this...

This is next in my TODO list, I will start working on it once I am done improving the UI for HDPI screens.

In the mean time, you can use the edit menu to pick the right cover for a comic. That should force a cover update.

Glad to know it is in the works!

Going through edit does work, but I have to edit twice. Once to choose a "cover" with a page number different from the original (typically, page 2) and then again to re-select page 1, at which point it will get the new page 1, the correct cover.

Having a rescan option to do this will be much efficient, especially if there are several comics to fix. Looking forward to it!
