[Feature Request] Automatically Rename/Organize Manga Names/Issues After Download

[dykn]

Hi,

I was just wondering if it would be possible for you to add a feature where the names of the manga(s) and volumes/chapters/issues would be automatically renamed, perhaps shortly after downloaded or maybe ran on the entire library at a certain interval or schedule.

Maybe something similar to what Sonarr (https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr) or FileBot do for anime, using AniDB or MyAnimeList (if/when their public API opens).

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the feature request!

How do you want Mango to rename the files? Personally, I don’t use Sonarr, so it would be great if you could briefly describe the renaming behavior you are looking for.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

In Sonarr, it basically allows you to customize the pattern, creation of folders, etc. Thought I don't think the customization is totally necessary, something like:

Name Of Manga / File Name Of Manga - Issue Number.cbz

Would be appropriate.

In Sonarr, the customization settings look like this:

Filebot has similar settings/options, forked source here:

Thanks.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree that it would be a useful feature to have.

I don't like the idea of having a long list of options on the web page to customize the naming behavior (as shown in your screenshot above). I think it makes more sense for the users to specify the naming format in the config file. For example, you can write something like

- chapter_rename: {title} Vol.{volume} Ch.{chapter}.cbz

in the config file, and Mango would rename the downloaded files accordingly.

I will try to include this in the next release, but in the meantime, feel free to let me know what you think!

This feature is now available in v0.4.0. Please check the Wiki for details.
