File Processing Settings

All settings related to file moving, renaming and processing are updated in this section.

Folder Monitoring

This is the most extensive set of features and will only be applicable if folder-monitoring is enabled. Most of these feature flags enhance the previous feature flag.

WATCH: The folder that will be monitored for files being added. This setting is dependent on the optional location mapped during Quickstart guide.

TARGET: The folder where files will be after they are processed. This setting is dependent on the optional location mapped during Quickstart guide.

IGNORED EXTENSIONS: File types listed here will be ignored by the file monitoring process. Many of these file types are tempfile types and should be ignore. However, if you want to have others files in the WATCH folder and not have them processed with your enabled options - add those extenison types here.

Auto CBZ Conversion: If enabled, when CBR files are downloaded, this will auto-convert them to CBZ

Auto ZIP Extraction: If enabled, when ZIP files are added to your WATCH folder, this will automatically extract them. This does not create folders. It uses the structure within the ZIP file.

For ZIP only, this specifically bypasses the IGNORED EXTENSIONS.

Processing Sub-Directories: If enabled, this will perform monitoring functions on sub-directories within your WATCH folder. For example, if you have /WATCH/archive01.zip and it is auto-extracted to /WATCH/archiveeach file will be processed and moved to /TARGET.

Moving Sub-Directories: If enabled, this will preserve any sub-directories in your /WATCH folder when they are moved to your TARGET folder. For example, if you have /WATCH/archive01.zip and it is auto-extracted to /WATCH/archiveeach file will be processed and moved to /TARGET/archive.

Info

To Do: Hide these in settings if folder monitoring is not enabled or inform user that folder monitoring is not enabled.

Auto Cleanup Orphan Files: If you are using the monitoring and Chrome Extension for downloads, failed downloads will be removed at regular intervals.

Cleanup Interval (hours): Set the timing for removing orphaned files.

Missing Issue Configuration

The two options here will vary greatly on how much you use Missing Issue Check and how your library is structured.

IGNORED TERMS: Add a comma-separated list of words/terms to ignore while checking for missing issues. Update these terms and re-run the missing issue check to better parse your library.

IGNORED FILES: Add a comma-separated list of files to ignore when checking for missing issues. Your collection may be a mix of CBZ/CBR/PDF or other files but if you have other files in your directories you want excluded, just add them here.

Directory & File Processing Settings

Enable Subdirectories for Conversion: This specifically allows Convert Directory to traverse subdirectories and convert all CBR/RAR files to CBZ. This is not enabled by default - as running this on a high level folder AND a large collection could take quite a bit of time.

SKIPPED TYPES: Add a comma-separated list of extensions to skip while performing actions on files. When any operation unpacks a RAR/ZIP File, files with these extensions will be skipped. They will be re-added to the archive. Examples are .xml

DELETED TYPES: Add a comma-separated list of extensions to delete while performing actions on files. When any operation unpacks a RAR/ZIP File, files with these extensions will deleted before the file is re-packed. Examples are: .nfo,.sfv,.db,.DS_Store

Custom Rename Pattern Settings

Use a custom naming scheme for renaming issues when downloads are processed or files are renamed.

Enter your naming pattern using the syntax provided and see a real-time preview of the result.

Warning

Renaming applies only to issues. Entering directory paths or folder structures is not yet supported.
