comiclib - projectdelphai@gmail.com
Written in Ruby, this program is meant to be a lightweight and fast comic organizer and reader The first part of it (tfo) will organize, rename, and move all comics to a designated folder. The second part (tfr) will scan all the titles, add it to a database, and allows you to read them using sxiv, a lightweight image viewer following vim shortcuts.
- Dependencies
- Gemfile
- sqlite3
- atool
- sxiv
- When first run, ~/.comiclib and ~/.comiclib/config.yml is created. The config file should be filled out first.
- comiclib defaults to a main.db where the main library information is held. To create/use a new/different library specify it with -d . A new database file will be created at ~/.comiclib/.db
- A sample config file can be seen here
- The file organizer is relatively stable but should be used with caution just in case
- comiclib has a gui feature where you can read unread comics. To use it, use the command 'comiclib maingui '
- In maingui, left-click reads the comics, right-click opens an information window, and middle-click marks it as read.
- Keyboard shortcuts: r = reload, i = information, n = next set, p = previous set, o = options, and = move to next/previous comic
- maingui is only for reading unread comics. To read already read comics, delete comics, clean library, or other features, use the command line.
- optionsgui
- add better error messages
- Add a rename only config
- add developer configurations
- [KINDA-FIXED] - On arch systems, ruby-gtk2 will not install properly. You will have to manually install it with "gem install gtk2"
- After a while of using the gui, the program will quit itself because of memory usage. Just restart. The command line interface has no such problems
