It would be very appreciable if a good developer on our team could make a script to convert the newly introduced 5-point ratings (with 0.1 increments) into a 10-point ratings system (e.g. 3.2, 6.7, 9.3)...

Please do consider this request.. I've been looking for this feature for past so many years..

I can take you up on this. Just to clarify a few things:

Do you need to convert a 10-point rating to a 5-point or a 5-point to a 10-point?

Which field does the rating come from and which field is the destination?

5-point to a 10-point

More clarification:
ComicRack 0.9.126 introduces a 5-point ratings having a 0.1 increment (eg. 4.1, 4.2, 4.3.. and so on).I would like to convert this into a ten-point rating having the same 0.1 increment (e.g. 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and so on)

Where do you want the 10-point rating to end up. And do you want the Community Rating or My Rating as the source?

It appears that I am still not clear..

Earlier (0.9125 and earlier), we rated our comics like 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, 4 stars and 5 stars. So, that was a simple 5-point rating.
Currently (0.9.126 and beyond), we can rate our comics from 0.1 to 5.0 (that is a 5-point rating with a 0.1 increment). This applies for both "my ratings" and "community ratings" fields.

Now, what am I asking for ?

I wish to rate my comics (both "my ratings" and "community ratings" fields) from anywhere between 0.1 to 10. (this is a 10-point rating with a 0.1 increment). This means that I would have 10 stars to choose from. I would manually input both the "my ratings" and "community ratings" fields, so there is no source and no destination. Both fields are independent.

Is this even possible ? Is yes, it is a dream come true... If not, read on..

I often quote IGN's 10-point ratings:


So, if showing up 10 stars in ComicRack is not an option, i would like to transform the 10 point rating into the community ratings field. But, if this is what is possible, isn't Astrophizz's "method" simple:

I hope the scenario is clear now.
I am, although, worried that it might not work out as I wished it to be..

Ah now I understand. Sadly as far as I know it is not possible to modify how the stars work with a script. Sorry


Yes this would be the simplest way to do that. I can write a script to do this pretty easily I think.

Ok.. even such a script will be helpful in the long run..

please do post the script..

Here you go. Sorry I couldn't do exactly what you wanted , but it's better than nothing.

It is actually good Stoney !!

+1 karma to you for saving me the trouble of dividing every 10-point rating by 2 and then inputting it in the ratings field

Since you make it seen so easy, I was wondering if it would be possible(via a script) to manually enter ratings (the usual 5-point ratings, not the ones you just solved)using the keyboard, instead of clicking & dragging the stars ?

i.e. entering 3.5 via the keyboard and getting 3and a half stars filled ?

Like I said earlier, I had to keep the rating system in the 5 star range to keep the backward compatibility with old ratings (in the db and in embedded infos).
