Ability to download only certain chapters from a followed series

Open jonnyrobbie opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

So there is this issue I have. After following a series and then listing chapters, I see lots of them as 'n'ew (if I understand that correctly). But as far as I know, download downloads all chapters from the series. Can I specify only certain chapters to be downloaded? There are multiple releases per chapter as well as a lot of chapters I've already read. I know I could probably use get with URL, but with alias, there can be an ambiguity of chapters - for example rozen-maiden-ii has three english releases for c060.

Also it seems that get doesn't seem to set the 'downloadedflag inchapters`.

You can use the ignore command to ignore chapters you don't want to download. get is for downloading chapters in a way that doesn't touch the database.

Is there a way to set 'downloaded' flag instead of 'ignore' flag?

Unless you download it, no. The downloaded flag is specifically to mean you've downloaded the chapter. We don't track chapter files after downloading them, so you can delete them afterwards if you don't want them.

Yeah, cum ignore is used to not get chapters you don't want. cum get by design doesn't do anything to the database, so that you can redownload chapters.

An interactive mode for cum ignore could probably help to help ignore the things you don't want. I just need to think of how that would be implemented the best.
