Currently Kapowarr doesn't allow importing existing volumes from root folder

Describe the solution you'd like
Kapowarr should be able to scan the root folder and add existing volumes

Additional context
If people want to migrate from other apps and have a fairly large library it makes it hard to move to Kapowarr

Not really, but a great experience can be enabled.

Describe the solution you'd like
By including support for standalone mode, when tapping "add to homescreen" on iOS, users can get an app-like experience rather than loading the site in Safari.

Version info

Additional context

When using the automatic search or "search monitored" button on the volume page, it almost always errors out. Strangely enough I can get the issues to download using the manual download button and it sees the issues that are correct with checkmarks next to them so I am not sure why the automated side does not.

Request

Allow for padding of both the issue and volume numbers, also to be toggled independantly of each other.

Benefit

This allows for better structure control as well as helps with the natural sorting for other external consumption programs. (See https://www.xormedia.com/natural-sort-order-with-zero-padding/ and/or https://blog.codinghorror.com/sorting-for-humans-natural-sort-order/)

Example

Would appreciate if a Dark Mode could be added to the UI.

Description of the bug
Added multiple Volumes (comics) and suddenly Kapowarr froze at the state "Updating Info of all volumes" and was unable to complete. While the Activity - Queue was downloading some missing comics and stuck at "Importing".

By checking the logs i see "OperationalError: database is locked".

To Reproduce

1. Add multiple volumes of various comics
2. Search monitored
3. Restart Kapowar

Additional context

I'm not familiar with Python but by searching on the Internet about concurrency for sqlite i found this
"PRAGMA journal_mode = wal;"

super().__init__(self.file, timeout=timeout)
super().cursor().execute("PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;")
super().cursor().execute("PRAGMA journal_mode = wal;")
return

adding this line of code to db.py seems that it fixed this. I managed to see all volumes again and "db locked" message is not appearing anymore.

When a new series is added to the user's library, a series.json or ComicInfo.xml file should be generated for use in Komga to provide additional metadata about the comics. This would be useful if the book itself does not have this metadata embedded.

Currently, if a specific book does not have metadata embedded nor an external metadata file, no additional metadata for the series / volume / arc etc is shown in Komga.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There currently doesn't seem to be a way to format the issue numbering to allow the padding of zeroes.

Describe the solution you'd like
An option to specify a how much padding can be used in the naming of issues.
e.g. instead of 1, 2, 3, ..., 99, 100
I'd like to be able to specify 01, 02, 03, ..., 98, 99
Or 001, 002, 003, ..., 099, 100

Description of the bug
Refresh/Scan getting stuck if contents are removed prior to scan and Kapowarr cannot find it. Disables ability to start another rescan and no current function to cancel scan. Only resolved upon restart.

To Reproduce

1. Add item
2. Delete folder/contents
3. Attempt Refresh/Scan

Expected behaviour
Timeout or other way to continue function if contents not found.

A better way to see what was the most recently added comics.

Describe the solution you'd like
hide password field on http://host:5656/settings/download

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the credentials of services are stored in raw unencrypted format inside the database. That's not very safe...

Describe the solution you'd like

For the credentials to be stored in encrypted form inside the database.

Additional context

The whole problem is that I don't know how to implement this. The reason being that Kapowarr needs to have access to the raw credentials at any moment. This means that if the credentials were to be stored in encrypted form inside the database, Kapowarr will need to be able to decrypt the data at any point in time, without user input (like the user giving a password). If Kapowarr can decrypt data at any point in time without user input, so can any other person that has access to the database file. And thus we have this problem to which I don't know the solution.

Description of the bug
Using a password with the letter "#", the login page will not be able to see that symbol and any remaining letters after the # and so it leads to 'Password Invalid".

User a password with the letter "#", the login will fail with 'Password Invalid". The logs show that its unable to see the letter # and any remaining letters.

Example: password of "yL68#1zjaqH^LiLTVG!$Uxl*3!62^D" the logs show that there is a failed login attempt using the a password of "yL68" (see image below)

Removing the # from the password in the login screen will still fail but the logs can see the whole password "yL681zjaqH^LiLTVG!$Uxl*3!62^D" (see second image below)

If i set a new password without the letter # (example: yL681zjaqH^LiLTVG!$Uxl*3!62^D) I can successfully login.

To Reproduce

1. Go to Settigns > General > Security > Login Password > Create passsword with the letter #. (example: yL68#1zjaqH^LiLTVG!$Uxl*3!62^D)
2. log out
3. go to login page and input the password > Invalid password
4. check logs and see any letters after the # is not recorded.

Expected behaviour
To be able to login when the password uses the letter #.

I simply like using long, complicated, randomly generated passwords

Description of the bug
Unable to delete volume if folder has already been deleted and delete folder is selected as "Yes". No response occurs.

To Reproduce

1. Add comic
2. Delete automatically created folder
3. Delete comic from Kapowarr and selected Yes to delete folder.

Expected behaviour
Check if folder has already been deleted, and if true, continue and remove volume from Kapowarr anyway.

I won't ever know if a file is snatched or upgraded.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like a solution like Sonarr/Radarr that allows me to add Slack and other notification services.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to select/deselect items for batch editing including ability to rename selected, update selected, delete selected etc and an option to 'Select/Deselect All'.

Additional context
Other *arrs have this feature implemented for reference.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The API code is all custom, including the validation. This means that there is little validation that takes place on the API endpoints forcing API clients to use the API correctly. This could lead to security issues if data is badly parsed and actioned upon.

Describe the solution you'd like
Use a library like APIFlask to define the data models of accepted data. This would have the benefit of validating all input but also providing a Swagger or similar interface to auto document the API endpoints.

Additional context
Just thought this would be worth discussing early in the life of the project.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I run your container on unraid from this contributed template (https://forums.unraid.net/topic/122788-support-jpdvm2014-templates/), but from what I can see there is no way to define which PUID and PGID the application within the container should run as, and so it seems to run as root by default. This causes some permission issues with newly created paths that are used by other applications with non-root permissions.

Describe the solution you'd like
A similar way that linuxserver.io does where you define PUID= and PGID= with unique ID's that the application runs as within the container. This would resolve the issue with files being written as root

Feature Request: Implement ability to download via torrent download clients as per Sonarr, Radarr etc.

Unpack and rename zipped files.

I think one thing confusing people is Kapowarr prioritizes TPB over single issues. It downloads a single TPB marking all the issues as downloaded. For me, that is fine but others may like single issues as small file sizes instead of downloading the full TPB at a larger file size.

So an option to choose which volume type to prioritize would be nice. TPB or Single Issue on downloads.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
the container runs as root but i don't want to store my comics with root user and group.

Describe the solution you'd like
support for setting the uid and gid of the files downloaded.

Additional context
would also be nice to set the umask for the files as well. 644 might not be what people want.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Arm64 support for docker images

If downloading a lot, downloads can freeze up and stop working. What's weird is it even happens when premium Mega creds are added in settings. I wonder if the credentials are not being seen by Kapowarr.

Having to restart the container seems to work but gets annoying.

Description of the bug
information from portainer
failed to deploy a stack: service "kapowarr" refers to undefined volume kapowarr-db: invalid compose project

To Reproduce
I just copied compose scheme and paste it to porteiner, i changed only paths to download and root folders

Like Sonarr, to see how many files are missing or not on the volume page.

To look like this.

Donation buttons for GC and Kapowarr.

A page that shows latest comic releases on GC. If it's a series, allow it to be monitored and automatically downloaded when new releases are added to GC.

What I did was added the first 50 comics, ran a scan and renamed them then added the next 50 and that's when it wanted to start naming them TPB

Some links are being black listed when they are working.

Example:
Moon Knight Vol. 1 – The Midnight Mission (TPB) (2022)

This has good links but none are being downloaded.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to manually import files that are not automatically detected during search as in other *arrs.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to issue commands to connected indexers like Prowlarr and Jackett for downloads.

Additional context
These applications have API's that can be used.

When the app is restarted, it will almost always download a random issue that is already added.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ability to toggle check box for which items to commit to rename similar to other *arrs.

Description of the bug
On the /system/status page, the discord link takes you to an invalid/expired link

To Reproduce

1. Go to /system/status
2. Click on Discord link
3. See error

Expected behaviour
This invite should be not expire and should be able to be used an unlimited numbero f times

Version info

Additional context
Additionally, these links should open in a new tab , target="_blank" so the user's page does not get redirected, and also it should have a rel="noreferrer" to omit the "Referer" header.

Description of the bug
cannot download files for comic "100 Bullets"

To Reproduce
add 100 bullets
search for a download
it will blacklist any release without downloading.

Expected behaviour
the files to download

Screenshots

Version info

Additional context
i have narrowed the issue down to here https://github.com/Casvt/Kapowarr/blob/development/backend/files.py#L273

this regex (series_regex https://github.com/Casvt/Kapowarr/blob/development/backend/files.py#L56) seems to be designed to remove all numbers at the start of a name.

when this returns it will have the series named "Bullets" which will not match the files "100 Bullets" and cause it to fail. I think this would cause any series that begins with a number to fail to download.

Sometimes a volume has more than one TPB. If so, it downloads the first one but then blacklists all the others thinking it is complete with the first TPB. Here is an example CV ID https://comicvine.gamespot.com/new-mutants-by-vita-ayala/4050-138157/

"No results" when adding an existing volume should be "Already exists". Otherwise some may think it's an error with CV or the app.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, I can't name my folders anything I'd like. For Star Wars comics, I remove the "Star Wars" prefix from the volume name because they all have that prefix so it's pointless to include.

Describe the solution you'd like
Use the Sonarr/Radarr way of folder setting. Allow me to just select a file path.

Additional info
Only flat folder structures are supported. If I want to store any set of volumes inside a folder, I have to create a whole new root folder for it.
Because of all the above reasons I can only use Kapowarr for some or my comics and not all.

2. Delete and select yes to delete the folder
3. Same error repeats if trying to click delete again
4. Selecting no causes the volume to be removed from the database and ends up being a successful removal of both database item as well as folder

Expected behaviour
Both folder and volume gets removed from the database and filesystem

Version info
Kapowarr: v1.0.0-beta-1
Python: 3.8.16.final.0
Database version: 6

Happens both on Windows 11 with google chrome version 113.0.5672.127 and on Ubuntu 22.04 with the same chrome version. Not tested on other browsers, yet.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
when configuring file renaming, you should be able to set the number of zero's before the first number, for example issue number one should be "comic name 1" or "comic name 001" when you get to issue ten it would be "comic name 010"

Describe the solution you'd like
the ability to set leading zeros in file renaming so {issue_number} can have a parameter in it like {issue_number-000} to determine how many zeros to pad with.
