Introduction

Folder grouping allow you to browse your comics grouped into folders. Almost any field in Comic Collector can be set as a folder group option.

You can also create folder grouping within different folder grouping. Comic Collector comes with a variety of pre-set folder group sets, but you can also create your own Saved Folder Presets.

Selecting a Folder view

To start viewing your comics grouped in folders:

  • Click on menu View > Folders, and then pick one of the pre-sets.

Comic Collector then automatically groups all your comics into folders based on the information it has on those comics.

If you wish to disable folders, click View > Folders > No Folders.

Define your own Folder views

You can define your own folder views via the Folder Field Selection screen.

  • Click _View > Folders > Manage Folder Presets

You’ll now see the Folder Presets screen.

Click the pencil button next to a preset to edit it.

Pick the fields you wish to folder group on.

The [None] Folder

When selecting certain Folder Sets, you may notice the [None] folder at the top of the list.

The [None] folder contains comics in your collection that have not been assigned a value for the folder set you’ve selected. For example, if you have selected Genre folders, the [None] Folder will contain comics in your collection that do not have a Genre assigned. If the Subject folders are selected, then the [None] folder contains comics that do not have a subject, etc.

To remove items from the [None] Folder, you will need to specify a value for the comic that appears in the [None] Folder. Open the Edit Comic screen and enter something for that field, the comic will then be moved out of the [None] Folder.

Important to know:

Q: How do I create a new folder?
A: You don’t actually “create” folders in your main screen. Folder grouping happens automatically based on what information you have for your comics.

Example: If you are using “Genre” folders right now, and you set “Comedy” as a Genre for a comic, that comic will appear in the “Comedy” folder.

Q: How do I move comics to another folder?
A: Example: Wish to move the comic from the “Comedy” genre folder to the “Horror” genre folder?
To do this, Edit the comic and uncheck “Comedy” as a genre, and then check “Horror” as genre. Hit OK and it will now be in the “Horror” folder in your main screen.

Q: Why do I see my comic in multiple folders?
A: Example: If an comic has multiple genres, it will appear in multiple genre folders.
