[Enhancement] Ability to choose cover art locale (Mangadex, maybe others)

Open GlassedSilver opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

Hey!

I'm really impressed with this tool time and time again, I just love how it integrated into my Kavita instance and the fact Mangadex book cover art grabbing got integrated along with just adding the results to the volumes rather than writing into the chapters is a game changer to me personally. I'm super grateful for everything this tool can do. Just felt it's important to also give feedback on how Komf is a valuable cornerstone of my media metadata life. :)

Now to my actual request, one of two for today:

Would it be possible to integrate an option that lets me select globally and per library (possibly with a per-entry override) the cover locale for art pulled in?

I could imagine the options looking like this as an example:

Cover locale: Auto, Japanese, English, ... (ordered, similar to how you can prioritize scraping the title)

Auto would rely on the language for a volume/series being set.

There's only Mangadex that has cover locales and I don't think it's worth to have a separate config option for You can already configure it to only fetch the specified languages

    mangaDex:
      priority: 90
      enabled: false
      coverLanguages:
        - "en"
        - "ja"

Thanks for your quick reply, but that leaves us with just a global option. And since Mangadex is - in my opinion - the best primary source for cover art it's what I use either way.

Like it's fine if other databases don't want to support multiple locales, but then they also specifically don't cater to multi-region to begin with so the entire site is either this or that, etc...

If you could reconsider letting this be a setting on different levels to be able to override based on series and library that'd be incredibly amazing.

Oh also, just to be sure... Does lower down take priority or higher up?

I set it the other way and it pulls English first although Japanese cover art exists.
