Importing Comics into ComicZeal using Wi-Fi
Step 1: Drop your comic files into the ComicZeal Sync window.
ComicZeal Sync will accept cbr,cbz,rar and zip files. If you drop a directory full of images it will treat each image as a page and turn it into a comic.
ComicZeal Sync will also convert PDF formatted comics. Make sure you install Ghostscript first. You can download it from the main ComicZeal Sync page.

CZ Sync will process each of the files you dropped in turn. When it's finished a batch you can drop more in.
There's a limit of 100 per transfer, so make sure you move them into ComicZeal before you get to the limit.

Step 2: Press the 'Sync Now' button in ComicZeal Sync to start SyncDocs.
If you ever have a problem with SyncDocs please make sure that your iPhone and PC are on the same wireless network and that your firewall isn't stopping ComicZeal from communicating with SyncDocs. If you can see 'SyncDocs' from ComicZeal but ComicZeal doesn't recognize it as a valid server or doesn't transfer any files it's almost certainly a firewall issue.
You can also try going into the SyncDocs setup and making sure that 'Bind to all addresses' is set, in some rare cases you may have to change the port number to 8081.

Comic Series
ComicZeal sorts comics in a couple of ways:
In the first case it looks for comics which are named exactly the same except for the number at the end. An example of this is ‘Strange Worlds 001’ and ‘Strange Worlds 002’, they have the same name except for the issue number. ComicZeal will group those two in a series called 'Strange Worlds'. Using this method you can sort comics before they are processed by ComicZeal Sync.
In the second case, ComicZeal Sync adds a tilde (‘~’) sign in the comic name and the series name before it. ComicZeal takes anything in front of the tilde as the comic category.
ComicZeal will only treat categories with more than one comic as valid.
Organizing Comics in ComicZeal Sync
You can use the rename function of ComicZeal Sync to sort comics into series as they're shrunk.

The 'Series Name' field forces the comics into a particular series. In this case all processed comics will be put into the 'Atom Age Combat' series. If the 'Issue Name' and 'Number' fields were empty then the original comic name would be kept.
The 'Issue Name' and 'Number' fields will change the name of the comic. They're useful when a series consists of a lot of weirdly named comics. The number field automatically increments each time a comic is processed.
