This app is the reason I switched to the Mac 5 years ago.

My only requests for future builds would be to make it even more "iTunes-like", and allow the option to centralize files via copying, and to have tag fixes alter the actual file name/ save altered data for other viewers (rather than only for CBL). An excellent example of this type of "easy file fixup" is the "FontExplorer X" font management system from Linotype.
To be sure though, these *are* minor asides and I'm more than happy to have spent the money supporting the creators here.

Well, I disagree. I tried a bunch of alternatives before I purchased CBL, and they were slow, crash-prone and did not even have half the features of this app.
CBL is literally the iTunes for downloadable comics, it is being regularly updated, and the developer is responsive to any remarks and questions. And the price is absolutely adequate - I suspect the reason people complain about the price may be due to the fact they are used to download comics for free, and expect their app to be free as well. With CBL you get exactly what you pay for, and you can test it thoroughly - with only a small watermark in one corner of the screen - before buying.
I wish the big comic companies would jump on the internet band wagon and offer their comics in a HQ digital form (they do flash files now, which at least is a start...), and then CBL would be a perfect app for managing and viewing those files.
The ONLY complaint I have about CBL is - its name. "ComicBookLover" -- ouch!

This was the best of every comic viewer in their current stages, and this worked the fastest. It still has a few things to iron out, including a more flexible control interface (if it could work like FFView's control system is supposed to work...).
Personally, if I get a 300GB drive for documents to capture, store, and create to, this would be an excellent addition for that purpose when it comes-of-age.

but is not. Please fix this.

Sometimes the files I'm dragging over have already been imported, but it would still be nice to be able to manually drop the files into the playlist, as I have my comics sorted by story on DVDs, and it would be infinitely easier to just drop that folder in there.
