What happened?

When scanning a comic series folder that contains a subfolder named Specials, Kavita creates a new series titled "Specials" instead of grouping those issues under the main series. Library type is normal Comic (non-legacy).

Steps to reproduce:

Library type - Comic
Organize your comic folder like this:


The New Mutants /
  The New Mutants 001.cbz
  The New Mutants 002.cbz
  Specials/
    The New Mutants Annual 001.cbz

Perform a scan

Kavita creates two series: one called "The New Mutants" and another called "Specials"``

What did you expect?

I expected Kavita to group all the issues — including the ones in the Specials subfolder — under the main series ("The New Mutants").

Kavita Version Number - If you don't see your version number listed, please update Kavita and see if your issue still persists.
