Support for exporting metadata #50
Comments
I second this. Komga can't find a poster automatically, it would be nice if it could export the jpg too. |
I may see if I can take a crack at doing this... I will need to check my availability over the next few weeks, but I'll see what I can do for sure. |
If you want to contribute, I have some suggestions/guidance:
Suggestions for how to implement this:

Just a heads up: You'll have to map the generated metadata files to the volume so that they're handled correctly. However, there is no way to map files to the volume in general without mapping it to issues. That's going to be a problem for you because metadata and cover files are exactly that. I'm going to fix that in issue #79. It's advised to wait with mapping these metadata files until I've fixed that issue, so that you can make use of it. |
When a new series is added to the user's library, a series.json or ComicInfo.xml file should be generated for use in Komga to provide additional metadata about the comics. This would be useful if the book itself does not have this metadata embedded.
Currently, if a specific book does not have metadata embedded nor an external metadata file, no additional metadata for the series / volume / arc etc is shown in Komga.
