Like Julien said, the French should be completely translated. I don't know 
if your problem is a result of running under Gnome or not. There may be 
something extra I need to do for that. Does anyone else see the same issue, 
untranslated items when running under Gnome?

Yeah, the amazon search doesn't show up for comics. One way around it might 
be to open a new book collection, do the search and save the results in a 
different file, then import that other file into your comic collection. Not 
the easiest way, I know. I'll put that issue on my list. I'm not sure if 
all the fields in the comic books will come through either. Can you give me 
an example comic book on the amazon.fr site? Either the title or the link 
or something?

Tellico should popup a dialog that tells you which ISBN values were not 
found. So it it doesn't, there's a bug somewhere.

The 100 ISBN limit is just hard-coded so it doesn't exceed the limits on the 
amazon terms for accesses. That number should probably be visible somewhere 
before the search is done, true.

Thanks!
