Hi all,
I recently started using YACReader on my PC to organize my library, and use the iPad app to read comics. Initially I copied files over manually, then I tried out the library sharing feature from PC, but I don't like letting the computer running just to read comics, so I eventually decided to push all my files into my DropBox account and use that for easy access.
However, when I connected YACReader with my DropBox account and selected my import folder, during import it proceeded to download all the comic book files from my DropBox account to the iPad, which wasn't my expectation. Of course I quickly ran out of space on the iPad and import stopped.
I expected it to just look at the files and maybe do some processing to extract a cover image and metadata, but not download the entire file until I actually start reading the comic. Is there no way to do this? I didn't see any option that allowed me to tell YACReader to not download all the files during import. I assume that for Google Drive and other cloud storage services it works the same way and isn't specific to DropBox.
If there isn't a way to do this right now I am still wondering if it's at least on the roadmap? Syncing with the cloud shouldn't replicate everything in the cloud, which defeats the purpose of using the cloud for storage in the first place.
Doesn't look like YACReader is an open source project, but I'd be happy to implement that feature as well
Keep up the good work!
