Duplicates Manager
POPULAR
Removing duplicate comic books can be a very time consuming process when done by ‘hand’, both, in Windows Explorer or within ComicRack™. This script aims to help automate that process following a simple ‘rules-based’ approach. Just make the rules (detailed below & in the script wiki), select the books in the ComiRack™ browser, and click at the Duplicates manager icon. •
The script requires for proper function a text file (no fancy encoding) in the script directory, named dmrules.dat. Open this file in notepad. • By default, the script will not move or remove any comic, just log what it would do in the logfile. To enable the actual processing of files you need to edit the dmrules.dat file and set to true the variables MOVEFILES and REMOVEFROMLIB. • The dmrules.dat accepts a list of rules as provided below in your preferred order. • Text search related rules: These rules search for words in the comic field specified (filename, filepath, tags, notes, scan information). The last rules (text) search in all the previous fields. filename keep _words_ filepath keep _words_ tags remove _words_ notes keep _words_ scan keep _words_ text keep _words_ filetype keep _words_ • Alternate covers related rules: These rules search for strings like “(2 covers)” in the comic filename (note that “(both covers)” is parsed as “(2 covers)”). There are two options: if the all command is included, the rule will delete/move all the comics except the one with the higest number of covers explicitly included
in the filename. If the some command is used, the rule will keep all comics without that string, and only keep the one with the highest number of covers of those that do have the string. covers keep all covers keep some • Filesize related rules: Rule that keeps the largest or smallest comic. It can receive an optional parameter with the percentage of the size. This means that any comic that changes that percentage to the largest/smallest will be kept. filesize keep largest filesize keep largest 10% • Pagesize related rules: Rule that keeps the comic with largest or smallest pages. It can receive an optional parameter with the percentage of the size. This means that any comic that changes that percentage to the largest/smallest will be kept. pagesize keep largest pagesize keep largest 10% pagesize keep smallest pagesize keep smallest 10% • Pagecount related rules pagecount keep fileless pagecount keep noads pagecount keep c2c
Convert to Fileless
POPULAR This script converts selected comic books to fileless entries. This would be useful when you have read the book and want to keep track of it but consider it not worth storing on your system, or just wish to save precious hard disc space. Using this script, you can change type to fileless, delete all images in archive, and still retain the thumbnail and metadata. Other Scripts Move Files This script prompts the user for a destination folder and moves all selected comic book files to that folder. It also updates the file path information in ComicRack™ for the comic book so you don’t have to re-add them. When choosing the destination, you can elect to create a new folder as well. Existing files in the destination folder will not be affected.
2iPad Requires ComicZeal for iPad and SyncDocs. This script copies comic into the SyncDocs folder, naming the files for ComicZeal. This simplifies the SyncDocs process. Now also supports FTP.
