# 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:
|
|
```sh
|
|
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.
