Space CamJanuary 17, 2021 at 11:11 PM I thought it would be fun to finish out the winter doing a bunch of work with the Nikon 1 system, just for fun. Even though it's officially dead, gone, and buried by Nikon, who would probably prefer people forget its oddball initial misstep into the world of mirrorless cameras, I find they have a certain quirky charm. The 1" sensor, which is the same size as the one in my usual RX100 shirt-pocket camera, means that not only are even quality lenses extremely compact, but the camera bodies are, ...Tags: Guns, Nikon, Dslr, Tam, Nikkor, Pickcher Takin, Kubrik 115 people like this.

Like Metadata Plugins and the "Download Metadata" bulk actionJanuary 17, 2021 at 10:39 PM Hi,
I'm creating a plugin that will pull metadata from RPGGeek for a Roleplaying Game library. I've got it working for my own use, but I've noticed an odd thing about the behavior of downloading metadata. I don't see a way to download series_index that is passed from the parser. If I manually download metadata on a magazine issue, it populates fine, but it does not appear to be an option for the bulk download. Is there a place to set that, or is that something that's just not available?
