Installation

PyPi

Or install it yourself:

$ pipx install metron-tagger

There are optional dependencies which can be installed by specifying one or more of them in braces e.g. metron-tagger[7zip]

The optional dependencies are:

• 7zip: Provides support for reading/writing to CB7 files.
• pdf: Provides support for reading/writing to PDF files.

FAQ

What comics formats are supported?

• Metron-Tagger supports CBZ, CBR, CBT, CB7 (optional), and PDF (optional) comics.

How to enable RAR support?

• It depends on the unrar command-line utility, and expects it to be in your $PATH.

  NOTE: unrar only supports reading archives, so you will need to convert the archive to a cbz to write to it. To do so you can use -z, --export-to-cbz and if you want you can remove the orginal .cbr archive with --delete-original after successful conversion.

Examples

To tag all comics in a directory with MetronInfo.xml that don't already have one:

metron-tagger -om --ignore-existing /path/to/comics

To remove any ComicInfo.xml from a directory of comics:

metron-tagger -dc /path/to/comics

To validate any metadata, ComicInfo.xml and MetronInfo.xml, would be done by running the following:

metron-tagger -cm --validate /path/to/comics

To write MetronInfo.xml metadata from comics with ComicInfo.xml data, and migrate data for comics that don't exist at the Metron Comic Database:

metron-tagger -om --migrate /path/to/comics

To remove duplicate pages from comics (which should be only ran on a directory of weekly release since we scan all the pages within a comic), would be done by running the following:

metron-tagger --duplicates /path/to/weekly/comics
