Adding manga

There are two ways of adding manga:

Add Manga button

This button allows the user to select one or multiple .epub or .cbz files. Once the user selects them and confirms the dialog, all the mangas will be added to the library, and if the filters are off to the list.
This mode issues a warning for every manga that is already in the library.

Scan Folder button

This button allows the user to select a folder instead. It will scan it and all of its subfolders for .epub or .cbz files and attempt to add them. This mode does not warn about duplicates. This is intended to be used to quickly update the user's library for new additions without any extra input from them.

The program will refuse to add a duplicate manga regardless of which way is used. For .epub files the file name itself is irrelevant, the program reads the content.opf file to get the title, whereas for .cbz files the file name is taken as the title. For .epub files the program will check the root of the archive and the /OEBPS/ path for the content.opf file, failing if it's not found in one of those two locations.

Once a manga has been added, all of its attributes are empty and the ongoing status is assumed false. Please see the Manga description panel entry for details on how the attributes are automatically obtained.
