Shared panel cache (Settings → Library, on by default): panel
layouts are looked up from a community cache before detecting — so a page
detected or hand-corrected on any server gives you instant guided view —
and your own detections and corrections are contributed back (only
ML-detected layouts and hand-corrections are shared — the built-in
detector's output stays local). Only panel
rectangles and a hash of the page's image bytes are sent; never image data
or filenames. Hand-corrections outrank model output everywhere; model
layouts are only shared once two servers independently corroborate them.
Turn the toggle off to opt out entirely (detection then runs locally only).
Confirming a page in the studio's review mode also counts as a vote of
confidence on the shared layout (retracting the review retracts the vote);
community layouts that collect enough rejections stop being served.
Panel studio: users with the new reader.panels.edit permission
(admin tier by default) get an "Edit panel layout" action on issue rows
that opens a full-issue editor — a page-thumbnail rail beside an editable
layout view. Drag corners (slanted panels supported) or whole panels,
add/delete panels, reorder the reading sequence, force a page to read
whole, or revert pages to automatic detection; staged edits across any
number of pages commit with one Save. Corrections are saved per file,
apply to everyone on the server, beat any detector's output, and survive
model upgrades.
Guided panel view: read a page panel by panel — the reader detects the
panel layout server-side (computed once per issue, cached) and the g key
or the new toolbar button steps through panels with an animated camera,
and a spotlight dims everything outside the current panel. While an issue's
layout is being detected the reader shows live page-by-page progress.
Right-to-left series tour panels in manga order. Pages without a confident
layout stay whole pages.
ML panel detection downloads itself: when the ML toggle is on and no
model is installed, the reader fetches the current panel model from the
BackIssue CDN on startup (verified by checksum before it's ever loaded)
and activates it without a restart. A model you placed by hand is never
replaced; a custom readerPanelModel path disables auto-management.
ML panel detection (optional): drop a panel-detection model at <data dir>/models/panels.onnx (or set readerPanelModel to its path) and
panel layouts come from a neural detector that handles black gutters,
borderless cartoon panels, and low-contrast layouts the built-in detector
can't — in testing it produced guided layouts on 91% of pages vs 34% for
the classical detector. Without the model (or the optional onnxruntime-node dependency) the classical detector keeps working
unchanged, and a Settings → Library toggle switches between the ML and
built-in detectors at any time. Turning the model on or off recomputes
each issue's layout once.
