What's new

By default, Bindery deletes source files from Comics_in after a successful conversion. For most setups that's fine — but if you're running Bindery as part of a larger workflow and need the originals to stick around, there was no way to stop it.

This release adds a Preserve Originals toggle in Bindery Settings. When enabled, source comics are moved to Comics_in/.archive instead of deleted. The subfolder structure is mirrored — a file at Comics_in/Marvel/issue01.cbz archives to Comics_in/.archive/Marvel/issue01.cbz. The .archive folder is never scanned or reprocessed.

Changes

  • New Preserve Originals toggle in Bindery Settings — moves source comics to Comics_in/.archive after conversion instead of deleting them
  • Comics_in/.archive is excluded from both the poll scanner and the inotify watcher — files there are never reprocessed

Disabled by default. No config changes needed for existing setups. Has no effect on book conversions.
