ImageViewer

The simple manga reader that is metadata aware.

Usage

Warning

This app can take a long time to start after adding new manga because of metadata generation.

Create a folder for the manga and create a folder inside called volumes. Place your CBZ files inside volumes.

Note

The app does not regenerate the metadata file if it already exists, even if there are new volumes.

When you first start the app, it will create a flatbuffer binary file with the metadata is has extracted from the entries in the zip.

You can modify this file yourself if you want. I recommend converting to JSON, modifying it with a text editor, and the converting back.

To convert the metadata file to JSON you can run a command similar to this:

flatc --json --defaults-json --raw-binary metadata.fbs -- metadata.fb

To convert back to binary you can run a command like this:

flatc --binary metadata.fbs metadata.json

Why do this? To set metadata that is not found in the filename such as chapter name, volume name and other things such as release date.
