Omegadl

A comic downloader and manager for comics on Omegascans (NSFW). This program can download manwhas on a periodic basis and keep a track of new titles.

$ omegadl comics "query" download --chapters="chapter-4"

This command simple searches for a comic mathing query and then downloads the chapter with the slug chapter-4.

Usage

You can use omegadl --help to see the list of commands and options you can use.

Config

When omegadl is run for the first time, a config file is generated that stores the defaults. It is located at /path/to/mdlout/config.json. Using the config, you can change path to libraries, use of cache, subscription lists, overwriting settings, etc.

You can revert to default settings by using the reset-config command.

$ omegadl reset-config

Catalog Generation

In order to fetch comics from omegascans, you would need to create a catalog file that stores all the metadata for comic titles as well as their chapters and urls to chapter pages.

omegadl --output=/my/dir catalog generate

Catalog generation can take anywhere from 20 minutes to one hour due to the number of requests it has to make from the server and also can get your ip address whitelisted. So, it might be better to initially generate your catalog from an existing catalog.

This can be done by using the --source=https://path/to/catalog command. You can view a list of available catalog sources.

Comic Database

Downloading Comics

Downloading a comic is very straightforward. Be sure to setup your library path in the config or by using the --library option.

$ omegadl comics --library=/path/to/library "comic search query" download --chapter="chapter-5"

This would download the chapter with slug name chapter-5 from omegascans. Ommitting --chapter from the command downloads all missing chapters.

Subscription Lists

Since, it is not necessary to add all comics to the catalog, a subscription list feature has been implemented. It allows you to add the comics of your choice to a subscription list. Only those titles are added in the catalog, allowing for faster library updates.

# To add comic to subscription list
$ omegadl comics "comics search query" add 

# Removing a comic from subscription list
$ omegadl comics "comics search query" remove

# To update the catalog and download missing chapters from comics in subscription list all in one go
$ omegadl pull

The omegadl pull command updates the catalog and downloads all the missing chapters from the comics present in the subcription list at once, however it asks for your confirmation before downloading them. You can override this behaviour by adding a --y flag.

omegadl pull --y
