Cover Image Mass Uploads

Here's a suggestion for uploading many cover images at once:
Have each image name begin with the volume number. The parser will then know which volume the cover image belongs to.
Have all images in one zip file with the name of the zip file being the name of the manga the covers are being uploaded to. This way, there will be almost no accidental uploading of a cover image to the wrong manga (only way is the wrong image being zipped into the wrong zip file). Any image that exceeds the file size limit will be dropped from the parsing of the zip file with a warning that such is happening.

Example of a 3 cover images belonging to the manga "MANGA":
1 MANGA.jpg
2 MANGA.jpg
3 MANGA.jpg
MANGA.zip

If 2 MANGA.jpg is larger than 2M then all that would be posted would be volumes 1 & 3 cover images.

EDIT: I just thought of an exception: What if the manga title starts with a number like 7 Seeds? I propose adding a character that isn't used before the volume number, such as a backslash (\). It's either that or just upload each image separately as normal.

EDIT: Just came across another exception: different mangas using the same title. Example: Bestia. Something else needs to be added to differentiate between the two (other than renaming the title of one of them).
