Being able to pass a entire dir to process the files for the entire dir

[fjglira]

I think it can be a good feature to add, we can set a new flag for example -isdirectory with default false and once we had this flag enable check all the files in the folder and convert all of them based in the current settings

Forget it I think is already covered here: $ go-comic-converter -profile SR -input ~/Download/MyComic.[CBZ,ZIP,CBR,RAR,PDF]

[fjglira]

Checking the code:

// only accept jpg, png and webp as source file
func (e EPUBImageProcessor) isSupportedImage(path string) bool {
	switch strings.ToLower(filepath.Ext(path)) {
	case ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".webp", ".tiff":
		{
			return true
		}
	}
	return false
}

Directory only accepts this formats, when the user pass a directory I think should process any accepted format and convert each one to his equivalent epub file, not merge images into a epub. I'll take a look to the code and see if I can add this feature

In order to decode an image, we need to load the extensions that can do that. That's why I have a list of supported extensions. It's the same between directory or zip/rar format. The for the epub, I convert it to jpeg or png depending on the format you choose. Kindle will keep jpeg as it is, and convert png to gif. I don't clearly understand what you try to achieve. You want to convert files of a directory into jpeg ?

Or do you want to batch process several zip/rar ? In that case it's not supported for several reasons:

• we support directory as input, similar to the content of a zip.
• batch process can be achieved easily using find command.

find directory -name \*.cbz -exec go-comic-converter -input {} \;

Yes, I want to be able to process for example all the .cbz in the same directory without the need of running extra commands in the terminal. I found this tool from a friend Who knows zero about programming or terminal scripting, so, for people like him I think will be great to be able to process batch whitout the need of running extra things in the terminal. Or at least, I can add to the read me file How to do it from terminal on: Lunix, Windows and MacOs

A contributor have made an UI here: https://github.com/manueldidonna/comic2books If you have a mac, that can help.

About scripting, this is a command line tools. so basic knowledge is required. At least to know how to run a command. For batch processing we are already in a more advanced command line knowledge.

Another way to do it is to prepare a list of commands to do in a text editor, and the run it one by one.

I can add a section for batch processing in the readme indeed. please fill free to do that, I will review

I found such command working for me:

forfiles /M *.cbr /C "cmd /c go-comic-converter -input @file"
