#SET YACREADER TO RUN AT STARTUP FULL#
Select Configuration and then Full Setup, and you will be guided through selecting apps and starting containers. You should now see the main menu from the screenshots. To run DockSTARTer, use the command above. Either Tags or Notes has this message: Scraped metadata from ComicVine.Web has a link to the ComicVine entry for that issue.xml file.Įvery file scraped by cbnack's ComicRack ComicVine scraper has the following information appended: Web alone has been filled in later, and has a entry in the. I have added this information to understand how ComicRack adds metadata to comic files.īelow are screenshots of the editor itself with all entries filled in.

If anyone is interested, Pepper and Carrot is a great open source web comic we have used for testing and showcase purposes in the past, so you could grab a cbz of it and tag it via ComicRack. Metadata format seems to be roughly what ComicVine is giving us ( is that more or less correct?) so mapping should be possible. Supporting all of these variants probably doesn't make sense. Sometimes it is in the archives, sometimes not, it might even be "hidden" using special NTFS filesystem features. There is also no info on the structure of this database, other than "xml snippets" or "one huge xml file".Īnother issue is that the way per-file metadata is stored is not consistent.

#SET YACREADER TO RUN AT STARTUP HOW TO#
That does not really align very well with the concept of a central xml file to "rule them all", so we will have to think about how to handle this or if we're going to handle this at all. Some help with this would be great, anyone?Ī first issue I am seeing is that the way we manage libraries is placing our data in a hidden directory in the root directory of the collection in question. Once this is implemented people will want the metadata available for the comics already in the library. To that list I would add an option to re-scan the comics in a library for metada (posibliy add an option to do it for a folder or a spedific file). If you want to help out, you can create a bug on our Github page and start working on collecting the info that is needed to actually start the task. Write some basic import routines for the most important tagsĪdd logic to handle edge cases like multiple metadata files present and other stuffįinetune our import dialog to make all options availableĪs you can see this is a feature that isn't implemented quickly. Run tests to make sure it is working correctly Map foreign metadata to YACReader's metadata, decide what to do with edge casesĪquire a set of example files that are fully tagged in all metadata format and legal (not pirated!!!) comicsĪdd metadata detection to our library and comic routines Research the format specification for all metadata files we want to supportĬompare the available metadata entries with YACReader's available database entries If we want to implement metadata import, we roughly have this todo list:

Since this is requested regularly I'd like to point out a few things that can be done to speed things up a little.
