Issue downloading covers from ComicVine

I'm having a bit of trouble adding the covers from ComicVine to my collection. It is still using my default coverpage and I'm not sure if it even grabs the cover. This is a bit tricky to work with considering some of my books have a couple hundred pages to click through in order to check if it's there or not, but I'm not seeing anything. All of the other metadata scrapes correctly, just not the cover.

The cover is not scraped, I guess a setting for doing it makes sense.

Oh, okay. Are you planning on adding that feature to the next build by chance?

I can't give you an ETA. The good thing about YACReader is that it is open source and anyone can add this feature

Could you point me to the files needed for the scraper?

Most of the scraper code resides here:

github.com/YACReader/yacreader/tree/deve...erLibrary/comic_vine

There is something Luis forgot to mention though. Our current implementation of the scraper uses a javascript engine called QtScript which has been deprecated for years by upstream and will be removed from the Qt toolkit we use in the upcoming Qt 6 release.

So the first priority for the comic_vine code would be to migrate and refactor the code from using the script engine to a more modern approach.

It's implemented in the `comic_vine*` files.

The info is saved to the DB in this method

But at that point I think that you should have the cover before reaching that point, the client is able to get the cover of an issue already but it is only used to identify the volume/comic in the UI.

I would add a setting somewhere to let the user decide if the cover should be downloaded or not.
