Have the date of the chapter come from the source
Belphemur opened this issue · comments
Feature Description
Today, we have 2 choices:
- Either have the date of publication of the manga as the date of the chapter
- Have the date of today/download as the date of the chapter.
A lot of source provide the date of when the chapter was added to them.
It would be great to be able to set that directly on the chapter themselve and use it to generate the ComicInfo.xml file.
Solution you would like
Make the Chapter struct have the year, month, day fields and have the lua script be able to set it up.
If I have the time, I could make a PR for this, it shouldn't be too hard.

I'm not entirely sure why it can't be scraped from sites like Mangadex and Mangasee, since both provide the date. (Mangadex even gives the exact timestamp)
I had an PR for this, but wasn't getting any response from @metafates so I simply forked the project:
https://github.com/Belphemur/mangal/
I've implemented chapter date for Mangadex and any other source that supports it, any LUA source can easily give it too.
Also added webp conversion to reduce size of CBZ. Better recognition of chapter number, because mangal don't like chapter like "140.5" without the changes I made.
