Quicktag saves .xml but GUI and further CLI functions don't recognize anything but the Notes section #810
Description
Describe the bug
When tagging via CLI using a quicktag server a match happens on both the quicktag and CV ends as expected and the file does get a ComicInfo.xml put into it but that XML isn't read correctly by GUI or any further CLI operations (say you have $Series $Issue ($year) as your rename schema you'll likely only get `Series (Year) as those are read from the file name.
GUI shows there's CIX/CR tags (see two attached screens) but the fields in the forms are all empty with the odd exception of the correct note from the XML as verified by checking it in a text editor.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use quicktag with any preferred settings (I varied but my standard command is this sans -v's
comictagger -s -o -f --source comicvine -a --no-abort -1 -t cr -i --enable-quick-tag --url https://hasher.nerdfirehurricane.com -v -v *) - Open this file in the GUI of comictagger and find the forms mostly empty.
- Further test would be to do
comictagger -r -t cr Filenameand you'll see it not finding information in your schema beyond what is present in the file name.
Expected behavior
To save the xml in a format that CT and other programs read correctly, I was unable to identify why only files tagged in this manner are affected as regular GUI operations (manual tag, auto-tag etc) and CLI operations write files as expected.
