Show to which source the serie is migrating to with page count

[thedetire]

Describe your suggested feature

When migrating it's impossible to see how many pages a source has for a series. You have to manually open it and see how many pages it has.

You also have to go through sources to see which one is a better option.

It could be improved by showing the page count on every serie it possibly could migrate to from the sources on the migration screen.

It would also be nice to have an option that the migration screen automatically preselects an source with the most pages/fastest result.

Example first migration screen, automatically selected with the most pages, but also shows the latest chapter below:

Option to search in other sources if selected source isn't what the user wants:

Selection screen (possibly with page count as well):

First off, please do not show source names. Cover them in your screenshots and edit your issue to replace the images, thank you.

Second, I assume by "pages" you mean "chapters", right?
It's not always so dead simple, considering the increasingly widespread use of partial chapters (think 12.1, 12.2, etc.) even by some official publishers. If a given source decides to not follow this scheme and only publish the combined "full" chapters (so only 12 in the example), the chapter count would appear wildly out of date and warrant a manual check anyway. Additionally, some sources may include x.5 chapters for non-story related content like illustrations, bonus content, etc. Those would artificially inflate a series chapter count and again, warrant a manual check.

Overall, the amount of work of checking a few sources for what their latest chapter happens to be is not arduous and can be completed very quickly.

I've removed the source names.

With pages i mean chapters, yes. I know you can't really count it correctly. So it may show a chapter multiple times, which would end up into multiple counts.

It's not so much to show the exact chapter count, but more to see easily whether an other source has more chapters than the source you've added it from.

I use it to migrate to another source when seeing it's not updated for a while, while other sources do update it. Checking it for each title is tedious, especially if you have hundreds of titles in your library.

I think showing the full combined chapters, even though it has duplicate chapters is fine this way. Its behind an option after all and its more to see if a source had better updates.
