File Management
CLU includes a dual-pane, real-time File Manager designed for managing comic files and directories directly within your browser. You can organize folders, rename issues, split collections, manage embedded metadata, and safely trash unwanted files through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.
Real-Time File System Access
The File Manager reads and interacts directly with your storage file system rather than relying exclusively on cached database records. Actions performed here are reflected immediately on disk.
