Easily create/extract cbz or cbr files with a python script, can split and adapt to manga read order

There are two tools here:

• cbxManager
• regroupImages

pip install --no-deps -r requirements.txt

I need to manage book or images and sometimes I need to deal with the folder and another with the cbz file. CbXManager can guess the input and:

If the input is a folder -> it will create a cbz If the input is a cbz it will extract it

I added some options: like splitting the wide images in two and reverse the read order to adapt to manga.

myFolder/image1.jpg
         image2.jpg
         image3.jpg
         image4.jpg

When running the foolowing command:

python cbxmanager.py myfolder/

We will have:

myFolder/image1.jpg
         image2.jpg
         image3.jpg
         image4.jpg
myFolder.cbz

And inside myFolder.cbz are all the images.

And if I run:

python cbxmanager.py myfolder.cbz

It will extract the cbz to the original folder.

• -c option to cut the image in two parts
  • -r reverse the lecture order (only when -c is used else ignored)
• -v verbose mode activated

regroupImages will parse a folder and it's direct subfolders to create volumes of around 170 images (by default).

It will first finish the current folder before finishing the Volume:

Example:

myFolder/chapter01/image1.jpg
                   ...
                   image100.jpg
myFolder/chapter02/image1.jpg
                   ...
                   image100.jpg
myFolder/chapter03/image1.jpg
                   ...
                   image100.jpg

Command:

python3 regroupImages.py --delete /path/to/myFolder/

Will result in:

Vol 01.cbz (200 images inside: chapter 01 & 02)
Vol 02.cbz (100 images inside: chapter 03

• --delete delete the folders/images as they are put in the .cbz
• --limit change the 170 that is an empirical value that is working well for me.

It can only generate cbz and does not do the complicated things that cbxManager do.
