DataEngine for ComicRack

DataEngine provides a way to move ComicRack's data in and out of other structured formats.

The DataEngine's default configuration can be massively and instantly destructive to your CR database. Take backups.

de.py main program options

--config /path/to/crde.cfg

optional, path to config file, no config exists by default

--crdb /path/to/ComicDb.xml

optional, path to ComicRack database, defaults to %appdata%/cYo/ComicRack/ComicDb.xml.

--dry-run, -N

optional, flag to disable all actions that actually DO anything. This is supposed to be safe...

--verbose, -V

optional, flag to be more noisy than usual, but less than debug output

--debugging

optional, flag to activate debug mode.

de.py commands

export

---

export /to/path/

Export data from crdb to path. DE will attempt to create intermediate folders as needed, and will overwrite existing files in the destination if they clash. DE will create a UUID.xml for each book in the database. The exported xml files are not the same structure as a ComicInfo.xml file.

--id id

optional, export the id specified. multiple values allowed. If this is omitted, the entire DB will be exported.

import

---

import /from/path/

Import data from path to crdb. DE does not verify that the data quality is good - only that the structure is valid to ComicRack. That is a very low bar. DE will replace existing records.

--id id

optional, only import specified id.

--safe

optional, flag to disable overwriting existing data. Existing UUIDs will be skipped and will generate a warning.

repack

---

repack origin destination

Crawls origin and copies the books to destination, converting rars to zips.

--rar-only, -R

Copies only rar files.

--replace, --forced, -F

Enables the repack process to replace existing files. It'll nuke everything under destination if you screw up. You've been warned.

experimental functions

bench

bench

Generate some numbers about how fast we can process your database. YMMV. SSDs are heat-sensitive...

crunch

crunch

Run the internal test function. You probably don't want to do this.
