Paperback-iOS
[REQUEST] Library and Filter support
Description I found this app to use as an alternative to Tachiyomi on IOS, but one of the key features it seems to be missing is the ability to filter libraries. For many of the public manage libraries on Tachiyomi, I can say only show me these types of comics excluding these tags or bigger than x size. Ect On Paperback you seem to be limited to just scrolling through and hoping to find something or by searching.
Similarly, I had never used Komga before but I set it up and installed it on my server and added my 20k comic book files. I added a Manga Library, a Western comic book library, a children's book library, and a Foreign Language library. Each with thousands of books. Komga allows you to sort and filter each library by topics or authors or tags. It allows you to make reading lists or collections in each library.
I was very excited until I connected Paperback to the komga server and found that it just shows 8 books and 8 series. It doesn't allow me to view by library or by collections, or filter by keywords.
How would it improve the App?
-
For Komga servers I recommend displaying each komga library as a separate row in the app. That way users can organize their collections by library.
-
I also think it should display komga collections in a collections view as a sub-library sorting. Example, if a user had a Komga Library that was all superhero comics, they may make a collection of Marvel and one of DC.
-
Lastly, I think all libraries, both external and self-hosted, should support some sort of category, keyword, tag, author, size filtering.
