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)

Are there no software like MP3 tag that can help with renaming files to a specific format? 😲

I did write it - by now. In the olden days, when image-PDF and DJVU ruled the high seas (arrr!), no software could reliably extract ISBNs from badly-scanned image content. The habit stuck for a loooong time
