#59 categorized libraries

[Anonymous]

The comic books in the library can't be categorized.

I think it is easy to create categories since the
library is in a dir.

So this will work to use different libraries:

Change to the spiderman library:

mv ~/.comix/library ~/.comix/batman
mv ~/.comix/spiderman ~/.comix/library

And change back to the batman library:

mv ~/.comix/library ~/.comix/spiderman
mv ~/.comix/batman ~/.comix/library

The flaw is you have to execute a few shell commands
every time.

Another way to use different libraries is to create a
new linux user without a password login for every category.
So this will worK:

With the user batman: (uses /home/batman/.comix/library)

su batman -c comix

and with the user spiderman: (uses
/home/spiderman/.comix/library)

It think the second way is better,

but ofcause I hope comix will get an update so we can
use categories !

I'd like indde some feature for the library that join a little what said here but in a different way.

I'd like to make some sort of playlist in the library (you know, like a batman.comixList or Infinite_crisis.comixlist) so that you can step forward/backward in comix without opening the library.

Of course it mean a little (a lot?) of work on the library to make the playlist editor possible.

But, that (the playlist), semm not too hard to do. The library has just to add a balise in each file reference like:

playlist={} #for no playlist attachement
playlist={0001,00A0,OO1F} # for an attachment to the playlist 0001,00A0 and OO1F

And a table of reference:

0001=1rst_playlist_name
0002=2nd_playlist_name
....
....

As of Comix 4, the library can have different categories (called "collections").
