Comic Information Scripts Arturo’s New Comics Toolbox Arturo’s new comic toolbox is a compilation of many scripts. It is meant for users who like to keep the name of the scanners in their comics to give them credit, or choose between c2c, noads or all those many choices. After installing the script, right-click any comic book and go to the Automation menu to get the toolbox options. • •

The scripts ScannerTagsFromName and ScanTypeFromName save the scanner name (if any) and the scan type (c2c, etc...) as tags for the comic. All this info, i.e., the scanner type, the scan type and the database reference, are stored as ‘tags’, which are not saved to the comicinfo.xml file. The next two scripts solve this problem: SaveTagstoNotes and RetrieveTagsFromNotes move tags to the notes fields & vice versa, making sure no one is duplicated, all the time respecting existing tags and notes. You can also use the Clear Notes & Clear Tags scripts for self-explanatory purposes.
