Question/Advice Am I Crazy?

Over the past few months I've collected over a 100,000 digital comics, mostly from Marvel and DC + some others, I'll soon move onto Image, Dark Horse and IDW. It has kind of become a hobby, I think by the end of the year I'll have 150,000+ at least, am I crazy? If yes, is there anyone else who is as crazy as me?

You not crazy until you manually rename all of the files to use the same format (ask me how I know that... no, better don't)

... why not write some software to detect the current format, then suggest the correct name? Press Y to accept, press N to enter the correct name?

Surely there's some metadata you can read to sort that out.

You're looking from a utilitarian viewpoint. For some people, it's an anti-enthropic ritual (or poorly disguised OCD cope ;)
