Proper behavior for games with the same name or moving directory about exstatic

[KamWithK]

I think this is the intended behavior. It's a feature not a bug! 🙂
The uuid is what actually distinguishes media entries, but you might want to have multiple different media which have separate uuid's but are displayed together. An example off this is if you were reading a series which had a VN and had a few LNs and a dozen manga volumes, you might want the VN, LNs and manga to all have separate uuid's (this is what naturally happens) but still be displayed together. To have this happen they all just need to have the exact same given name.

If I'm misunderstanding you then please let me know aha 😅

Hi, firstly thank you for taking your time to reply, and trying to understand the mess that was my previous comment. 😅

I see that combinding entries that have the same name makes a lot of sense, I did not consider that use case, so thank you for clearing that up.

The behavior that I do think is unexpected is that,I had two entries that shared the same uuid but the character counts and other information was not combined, although they were combined in the UI(Only one showed up and all previous datapoints on the graph were of the same color).

This behavior lead to the character count,play time and read speed all being incorrectly calculated.

I hope that was easier to understand than my previous comment, and thank you.

So if it's correct on the UI where is it incorrect?

[xythh]

It was not correct in the UI, the numbers were not accurate.

[xythh]

This was not correct.

Sorry can you clarify exactly where on the stats page (or otherwise) it shows up correctly and incorrectly?
I can't tell from that little snapshot

[xythh]

It was wrong there, it only gave the proper stats after I changed the directory of the first entry to match the second entry with the name Monkeys!!

Low priority as this doesn't affect many people, closing for now
