It's not exactly the fastest method but at least it's all copy and pasting, rather than writing everything out.When talking about Calibre DRM Removal 2020, we will know that we should add DeDRM tools to Calibre because they are must-have if we want to remove DRM from eBooks with Calibre. In the meantime, I've been using Mangadex and it's Information links to manually input metadata within calibre for my comics. I recently updated Calibre to 5 and I'm wondering if this plugin would even work with version 5. Do I unzip them all into a separate file?
I can't figure out how to install Embed Comic Metadata as the download file is a bunch of coding files and I don't know what to do with them. I found this out while trying to figure out how to get Open With to work. When I click on a book within Calibre, it will open CDisplayEX instead of its default reader. I have CDisplayEX associated with CBZ/R files in Windows. Just go to Calibre - Preference - Behavior and de-select whichever file format you don't want it opening. Thanks for introducing me to it!ĭo you use Mac by any chance? In Windows 10, you don't need the Open With plugin. This program nicely solves my problem by letting me reorder pages before compiling. I had a comic with a weird numbering system that wasn't being read properly on the Poke 2 and I thought I was gonna go crazy.
#3 draw2much 09-26-2020, 05:32 AMAw lordy, that Comic Book Archive Creator really saved my bacon! It makes it so I can properly arrange files within the CBZ.
(For those curious, I use Windows 10 and have a Poke 2.) So what I want to know, how are you managing your digital comics within Calibre? Or did you read this think "Why the heck would you use Calibre for this when XYZ does it so much better!" Please share with me your wisdom and knowledge and help find shortcuts so I don't slowly drive myself crazy trying to organize my comic collection. Technically it does work, but I've got a lot of comics and I might be dead before I'm finished at this rate.
I'm wondering: Am I doing this the hard way? But just about all my comics are in ZIP format.
I've been converting everything into cbz because I realized that, just in general, it's a better format than ZIP when it comes to how programs view sequential images in reader programs. ePub as a comic format is like punching oneself "for fun". Anything outside of cbz/cbr basically won't be viewed correctly. It does the management portion great, though the reader is absolutely worthless. A lot of these comic titles aren't in English so I can't even search for them to find them.Īfter discovering Calibre for managing eBooks, I thought: What a great system! I can use this for my eComics too! I mean, I use Calibre to convert the comics I've bought from the Big A, so why not? But after over 10 years, there's so many files. I mean, at least each comic is in a folder with it's name in there. #1 draw2much 09-25-2020, 06:44 PMI've been collecting digital comics for a long time now (more than 10 years).
