I’m curious if there is a Comic/Image organizer that can help change titles to a huge selection of comics and manga that are all over the place with titles? Also setup a folder system on my hdd.

    To do something like this without a lot of manual labor, you’d need a database of images, which I don’t think exists. But if you already know which files go where, it’s not quite what you’re looking for, but I used to use Ant Renamer when I spent a lot of time on Windows.

    I run a Kavita server, and I use a python script to do simple name and chapter detection, and cut out superfluous stuff from the filenames,

    so e.g.

    My Dress-Up Darling 02 Vol 1 Extra [ank-scans] V2.cbz

    gets turned into “My Dress-Up Darling 02.cbz”

    I haven’t seen any scripts like this out there, and it’s not built into any of the apps themselves as far as I’ve found. Let me do some cleanup of the script, and I’ll throw it up on GitHub later.

      @Crazytrixsta@beehaw.org Here is my renaming script, if you’re interested: https://pastebin.com/dWXRdhYB

      You can run it with -h to get the list of optional arguments. You can also just run it as-is and it will attempt to auto-detect and cleanup the filenames. I highly suggest running it with the --prompt flag until you’re comfortable with how it’s going to rename stuff. That will make it ask you each time before it renames anything.

      $> python3 rename.py -h
usage: rename.py [-h] [-n NAME] [--prompt]

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -n NAME     name of the manga
  --prompt    prompt for each filename update confirmation

      Use the -n name flag when all the files are the same series, and let it do auto-detect if they’re not.
