Losing Metadata on Import was created by jonnycosmic

Firstly, loving the app and subsequent Windows Library function, however I have a question regarding importing comics.

When I import comics from the library onto my iPad using the YACReaderLibrary method option, the chapter metadata disappears and the comics show up on my iPad with just the file name as the title. Is there anyway that I can ensure that the metadata regarding the comic issue chapter titles remain? The writer and publisher metadata is there, but for some reason not the comic titles.

No ideas? Is this something that I would need to suggest to be added to a later update?

Sorry for the late reply.

This is by design, the ios app sorts by comic name due some internal limitations. And yes, there are plans to update/fix this behaviour.

Import: YACReader Library: long press folder: import.
And in the library on my Mac I downloaded metadata using comicvine

Weird: the metadata is there but just not being displayed?

It is shown...volume name, number / total, date...does the issue have a synopsis?

As I said before, the issue title is not imported yet.
