08 - Library Organizer¶
Just as important as Data Manager, Library Organizer is a key part of the ComicRack workflow.
I recommend reading my detailed guide on it here for a better understanding of how it works.
You can download my Library Organizer file from Gitea.
Folder Structure
All of the smart lists in this section could technically be consolidated into one.
You don’t need seven lists, but I prefer having them split up for a clearer overview of different sections.
8.1 All¶
Download smart list: 8.1 All.cbl
This list contains all comics that are ready to be organized and renamed.
You could use only this smart list and skip the rest.
Column Layout

Action
Right-click -> Automation -> Library Organizer (quick)

8.2 Marvel¶
Download smart list: 8.2 Marvel.cbl
This list contains all Marvel comics except for Alternate Universe titles (covered later).

8.4 Marvel/DC Alternate Universes¶
Download smart list: 8.4 Marvel/DC Alternate Universes.cbl
This list contains all Marvel and DC comics tagged as Alternate Universes.
The tag is added with Data Manager if a comic does not have a Main Character or Team.

8.5 Publishers¶
Download smart list: 8.5 Publishers.cbl
This list contains all non-Marvel/DC comics from other publishers (see 5.3 Publishers).

8.6 Alternate Universes Now Has a Main¶
Download smart list: 8.6 Alternave Universes now has a Main.cbl
This list is a little unusual.
It contains comics previously sorted into Alternate Universes that have since gained a Main Character or Team.
Simply run Library Organizer on these comics again, and they will be moved from their Alternate Universes path into proper character/team folders.

8.7 Star Wars¶
Download smart list: 8.7 Star Wars.cbl
As mentioned in 5.6 Star Wars, my Star Wars organization is a work in progress.
Do not simply run Library Organizer on these comics and assume they’ll be correct.
Check the Star Wars page for the current setup before organizing.
