Manga Chapter Packager

This is a Python script that is used to batch manga chapters together. It copies all .jpg files from a source directory into a new directory with filenames incremented from 001.jpg. After all the files have been copied and renamed, it prompts the user for metadata (title, author, and summary), creates a ComicInfo.xml metadata file, and bundles all the files into a .cbz (Comic Book Zip) file.

Folder Structure

Here is an example of how your project directory could look like:

.
├── script.py
├── source
│   ├── Chapter1
│   │   ├── 01.jpg
│   │   ├── 02.jpg
│   │   └── 03.jpg
│   ├── Chapter2
│   │   ├── 01.jpg
│   │   ├── 02.jpg
│   │   └── 03.jpg
│   └── Chapter3
│       ├── 01.jpg
│       ├── 02.jpg
│       └── 03.jpg
└── output
