This is now possible. If you also want to import tags from comics into calibre, you have to allow this via the options.

First of all, thanks for this awesome plugin! And the recent Tags add is very cool. Thanks.
There is just a thing that looks a little weird at least for me: am I the only one who prefer to get the "Image Size" in a more usual (again, maybe it's just me) format like "1920x1080" instead of Megapixels? I know Calibre already show this information in a certain way but it's only the size of the cover, not an average or rather the greatest number of occurrences like I can get in CR (added by a plugin in batch or added by hand). It's very useful to update collections of comics, or mangas etc with a better resolution. In ComicRack, it's the "ScanInformation" field, and I think adding whatever string of characters who is in the field would be just fine. If you think it can be useful and you had time to add it on occasion, I would very appreciate it. Otherwise, I'm not familiar with coding, but trying to maybe understand the code in the plugin, it seems to me that: "comicmetadata.py" handle the part of mapping, converting and importing metadata into Calibre, "comicinfoxml.py" handle the creation of the XML file format like in ComicRack and "comicbookinfo.py" handle the ZIP comment format like in ComicBookLover. Did I guess correctly? If so, I think I have to tweak "comicmetadata.py" to achieve what i want, right? Anyway, again, thanks for your work and your time! |

Is there a possibility, that you might add YAML support?
I have a lot of cbz archives that contain an info.yaml file instead of comicinfo.xml and the plugin doesn't seem to be able to grab the data in it. The format structure is something like this: Code:
Artist: - John Doe Description: Average life of John Doe. Very boring story. Magazine: - blabla Pages: 20 Parody: - Original Work Publisher: - Broke Publisher YXZ Released: (random tag) Tags: - Fantasy - Midlife Crisis - Motor Bike Thumbnail: 1 Title: John Doe - Life and Ruin URL: https://www.reddit.com |

reading comic metadata is a builtin calibre function and it only supports comicinfo.xml is there a spec for this yaml format? is it documented somewhere?

I don't think so. It seems to be a random yaml format with the structure posted above.
In my imagination I thought it should be possible to catch it as a "generic metadata" somehow. Maybe with a little bit of manual fiddling by the user to adjust it to calibre columns or custom columns. Last edited by Wimi_Bussard; 10-12-2023 at 12:31 PM. Reason: adding information |

Thank you very much!In addition, I would also like to ask that when I use the embedding function, the folder name in cbz will be garbled if the name is Japanese. Is there any way to solve this?

I leave the pack of files with Spanish translation, in case you want to incorporate it in the next update.

Hello,
I would like to first thank the creator of the plugin, very practical for me to use as I swap some cbz from different calibre libraries & computers (wife etc.) I was happy to see tags were added, but unfortunately, I don't manage to make them work. Maybe something I miss ? I tried to look into the plugin option, can't find anything. Example here: This is the ComicInfo.xml that was generated : Quote:
Series, Titles, Authors : all works well. Tags: I have this : "a, B, C, d, e, é, i, J, l, n, r, S, u" instead of this : "Jeunesse, Bande dessinée" It seems the language is not saved as well, but it's less of a concern to me. Any clue on what I should be doing to try to solve this ? thanks ! |

Hi all,
I could use some help. I have Calibre and a bunch of CBZ-files. I would like to transfer them to my PocketBook Inkpad Color 3, and be able to sort on Genre. The plugin Embed Comic Metadata has helped me to get them sorted by Series and Authors. That is a great start. But is it also possible to get them sorted by Genre or Tags? What I tried was make a custom column called Genres, fill in a name there, and then press the Embed Comic Metadata button. Afterwards send them to my device. But that doesn't seem to work. One thing that I don't understand as well, is that there is no comicinfo.xml file made in the books folder, but there is still an .opf. Any help is greatly appreciated ![]() |
