Working with Lists Your ComicRack™ lists are not fixed in stone: you can easily rename lists, delete lists, edit smart lists, create, rename & delete list folders, etc. It is noteworthy that manually adding / removing individual comic books in smart lists is not a valid option, because smart lists are bound by the rules which define them. Individual comic books in custom lists, on the other hand, are supposed to be only manually added or removed.
Open a list in its own tab / window ComicRack™ lets you open a list (both custom lists & smart lists) in its own tab or window, which eases working with multiple lists at a time. If you have loads of entries in your library (folders, lists, smart lists) and want to work with some, it is lot easier to open them as tabs (or windows) instead of clicking or scrolling around in your smart list. You can also drag a comic book(s) from a list / smart list in one tab and drop to a list (not smart list) in another tab. To open a list in its own tab or window, right-click on the list name, and choose Open in new window or Open in new tab.

Duplicate current list The duplicate current list option is something different than simply copying/pasting a list. It builds a new smart list out of your current settings. If you did not make any changes, it does not create a new list. It takes into account the filters in Search Browser, Quick Search and options in Views (read / not read / reading / duplicates). Click a list (either custom list or smart list), type something in the quick search or choose a filter in the search browser. Once the filtered comic books show up, click the duplicate current list button and you will get a new list (with the same name) in the temporary lists folder, following the rules of the original list PLUS whatever extra filters you applied. This is the quickest way of creating smart lists. In this example, we filter the Siege demo list using the search browser. We select “Brian Michael Bendis“ from the writers field in the search browser, which filters the total 44 comics in the list to 14 written by Bendis. Now, click the duplicate current list button on the browser toolbar. A new smart list titled “Siege” appears in the temporary lists folder. Click edit to see what its rules are. You will find that smart list has filtered the original siege list according to the criteria we chose. If you wish to store this list, you have to move it out of the temporary list folder to somewhere else in the sidebar.
