GCD Database Support

Release v3.4 Supports Connecting to a Local Instance of the GCD Database for getting Metadata

Getting Metadata and building ComicInfo.xml files for a large collection using the ComicVine API is time consuming to say the least. In an effort to update large collections in short amount of time, support has been added to connect to a local MySQL database running an export of the Grand Comics Database (GCD).

Note: This will be a snapshot in time, so it will not contain data for any new comics released after installation. For our purposes, this is fine as we are looking to bulk update comics prior to the current year.
