A series whose files you deleted yourself can be forgotten, and Find other sources proposes a series a site lists under
a name of its own
(#328,
#316). Thank you, Keddyan and TIGamingTV.

Forget what you deleted yourself

  • A removed series whose folder you deleted yourself could not be forgotten. On a library Uchiyomi may only read
    (the default, with PUID unset), Delete files refused "not writable" before it looked, though nothing was left to
    delete. On a library with little else in it, it could not be sure the files were really gone and said "Deleted 0
    files". Either way the row stayed in Admin → Libraries and Forget was never offered.
  • Delete files now needs write access only for files that are still there. Files already gone are marked deleted,
    and the row offers Forget.
  • When Uchiyomi can't tell a folder you deleted from a drive that isn't connected, it asks: 24 chapter files are
    not on disk
    . If you deleted or moved them yourself, press Mark them gone, and Forget is offered. A library folder
    that is empty or can't be opened is refused: that is what a drive that isn't mounted looks like.
  • After Forget, putting the files back adds the series again as a new one.

A site's own name for a series

  • Some sites list a series under a name it doesn't have here. Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound is Revenge
    of the Baskerville Bloodhound
    on Atsumaru, Manga Ball and MangaFire, and Find other sources found nothing.
  • Let me review each match first now proposes it, in amber with its cover: a series a site gave first when searched
    under two or more of the series' names, whose chapter numbers line up both ways. Follow it if the covers match.
    Following it keeps that name as one of the series' other names, so later searches find it on other sites too.
  • An automatic run never follows one. Two series with the same number of chapters number them alike, so only a
    person can say it is the same series.

Upgrading

  • Nothing to do.

Uchiyomi Desktop (beta): downloads

Uchiyomi as a program on your own computer, for Windows and Mac. On first launch it asks how you want to
use it: on this computer (the whole app, with the library in a folder on your PC and no Docker or
server to run) or connected to your own Uchiyomi server (a window onto the server you already run).

Your computer Download
Windows (x64) Uchiyomi-Setup-0.95.0.exe
Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) Uchiyomi-0.95.0-arm64.dmg
Mac with an Intel processor Uchiyomi-0.95.0-x64.dmg

Only those three are for you: the .zip, .blockmap and latest*.yml files are what the app's own updater
reads. The same installers are also here under names without a version (Uchiyomi-Setup.exe,
Uchiyomi-mac-arm64.dmg, Uchiyomi-mac-x64.dmg), which always lead to the newest release.

The app is not signed yet, so the first launch takes one extra step:

  • Windows: "Windows protected your PC" appears once. Choose More info, then Run anyway. A PC
    with Smart App Control turned on blocks unsigned apps with no way past it; use the Docker install there.
  • macOS: open the dmg and drag Uchiyomi to Applications. The first time you open it, macOS refuses;
    go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

Windows installs updates by itself. A Mac cannot update an unsigned app, so there a new version is a new
download; the menu-bar icon and Admin → Health say when one is out.

sources, updates, backups, where files live and uninstalling:
