Create Comic Info
Parses the path of a comic and create a comicinfo.xml file inside the comic book archive.
If a comicinfo.xml is already found in the archive, this will be skipped.
File Format
Publisher\Series\Volume\Series - #[num] (of #[num]) - Title [tag1] [tag2].extension
Do not use - in the file name except to separate Series, Issue/Volume, Title. The Series name from the filename is ignored and the name in the path is used.
Volume
If the series name contains a year, that will be used for the volume, for example 1984 or if in place of #num in the filename there is Volume [Num] or v[Num] or Vol[Num] that will be used and called Volume [Num].
