Will Not Save Tags about comictagger

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A few questions to help me:

What OS are you on?  

What kind of files are the ones that work, and the ones that fail? e.g zip or 
rar?

If you remove the tags from the ones that were previously auto-tagged, and try 
again does it still succeed?  If it does, maybe something is different about 
those that you can identify.  

Can you give the filenames of the of some that work and some that don't?

I am having this issue and can help if you would like to troubleshoot.  I'm on 
CentOS and when I run comictagger.py -n -s -t CBL -f -o "Deadpool 27 
(1999).cbr" it works great.  When I remove the -n, I get: 

The tag save seemed to fail!

File Write Failures:
------------------
Deadpool 27 (1999).cbr

Other files in the same directory (same comic) works fine. Permissions on all 
the files are the same and the directory is writable, so I don't think it's on 
the OS level.

Just to verify, do you have rar installed and in the path?

I was having the same problem with a couple of cbr files not saving the tagging 
when all others in the series were fine.

I found two things;

1) Comic Tagger identified them as ZIPs, when they were .cbr
2) when i tried to extract the images from the 'bad' .cbr files, I found that 
one or more images within failed to extract due to CRC error.

I believe the CRC issue is causing the problem. None of the other files in the 
series, except for the two with CRC issues had problems saving the tags.

Maniatis, 

So are those "bad" files (that are named ".cbr") actually zips or rars?  I find 
it's not uncommond for zipped files to be called cbr and RAR files to be called 
cbz.

Either way, If there are CRC errors at the archive level, that will certainly 
stymie the tagging process.  Since the tagging process involves actually 
creating a new copy of the archive, I've chosen to abort when archiving errors 
occur, as to not destroy data that might be possibly be recovered with more 
sophisticated archive tools.

If you want, send me one of the bad files, and I'll have a look at it.
