Import Comic

Introduction

Venera supports importing comics from local files. However, the comic files must be in a specific format.

Restore Local Downloads

If you migrated the app and kept the local download folder but lost local.db, you can restore the local database by scanning the current local path.

Open Local -> Import -> Restore local downloads.
The app scans the current local storage path and rebuilds entries.
It does not copy files or add favorites.
Duplicates (same title or directory) are skipped.

Make sure the local storage path in Settings points to the folder that contains the downloaded comics before running this.

Comic Directory

A directory considered as a comic directory only if it follows one of the following two types of structure:

Without Chapter

comic_directory
├── cover.[ext]
├── img1.[ext]
├── img2.[ext]
├── img3.[ext]
├── ...

With Chapter

comic_directory
├── cover.[ext]
├── chapter1
│   ├── img1.[ext]
│   ├── img2.[ext]
│   ├── img3.[ext]
│   ├── ...
├── chapter2
│   ├── img1.[ext]
│   ├── img2.[ext]
│   ├── img3.[ext]
│   ├── ...
├── ...

The file name can be anything, but the extension must be a valid image extension.

The page order is determined by the file name. App will sort the files by name and display them in that order.

Cover image is optional. If there is a file named cover.[ext] in the directory, it will be considered as the cover image. Otherwise, the first image will be considered as the cover image.

The name of directory will be used as comic title. And the name of chapter directory will be used as chapter title.
