This is a major update focused on making the uploader smarter, more resilient, and easier on the eyes. The script now automatically handles common errors, skips duplicates, validates your input, and features a completely overhauled UI that's both beautiful and flicker-free, even with hundreds of chapters.

✨ New Features & Improvements

1. Intelligent Error Handling & Robustness

  • 🤖 Automatic Retries: The script will now automatically retry uploads up to 3 times if it encounters a temporary server error (like a 500 or 524 error), reducing failures from network hiccups.
  • ✅ Smart Duplicate Skipping: If you try to upload a chapter that already exists, the script will now intelligently detect this, mark it as "Skipped (Exists)", and move on without getting stuck or reporting an error.
  • 🔗 Manga URL Validation: Before you configure your upload, the script now validates the manga URL against the Comick.io API to ensure it's a valid link, preventing wasted effort.
  • 📝 Failure Reporting: If any chapters fail after all retries, a clean failed.txt is generated, giving you a simple list of folders to check.

2. UI & User Experience Overhaul

  • 🎨 Colorized UI: The entire command-line interface now uses colors for better readability. Success messages are green, failures are red, and prompts are cyan, making it easy to see the status at a glance.
  • 📄 Flicker-Free Paginated View: For large batches, the UI now only displays 25 chapters at a time. It automatically scrolls as tasks are completed, eliminating the screen flickering and glitching that occurred with long lists.
  • 🛑 "Press Enter to exit": The .exe will now pause after finishing, giving you time to read the final summary before the window closes.

Full Changelog

  • Added: Automatic retry mechanism for temporary server errors.
  • Added: Logic to parse error messages and intelligently skip chapters that already exist.
  • Added: Pre-upload validation of the manga URL against the Comick API.
  • Added: colorama for cross-platform colored terminal output.
  • Added: A final input() prompt to prevent the .exe window from closing immediately.
  • Improved: The UI renderer is now paginated to eliminate flickering with large batches.
  • Improved: Error messages in the UI are now more specific.
