[Kavita] Idea / Feature Submission: Metadata downloading: add TPB (trade paperback) support

[rmohns]

Idea Description

I find tagging my comics with ComicTagger to be the most frustrating and tedious thing. Discovering the addition of automatic metadata downloading in Kavita was like the angels sang out!

…except I have mostly TPB collections in my comic library, because I prefer the reading experience. I would love, love, love if Kavita+ fetched metadata for TPB volumes.

(I also foolishly accepted the match suggestions for some volumes before I figured out what was going on. I now have a bunch of series of TPBs with issue-based metadata. Ooops. My own fault, and not part of the FR.)

Kavita gets it's comic metadata from comicbookroundup so if the data isn't there Kavita can't download it.

It is there. I asked the community to make a FR if they want TPBs.

[rmohns]

Yep! Saw it in the release notes. I didn’t see another FR already so made this, in hopes that others would want it too, enough to get it on the todo list someday.

Yup, I'm hoping some others chime in (upvote). I think there are other users that collect TPBs and would also benefit (and luckily CBR has tons of data on them).
