Extensions and sources

Local source

Read comics from your own files alongside everything else in your library.

Lay out the folder #

Put each series in a folder of its own inside local/ in the storage folder, one folder or archive per chapter: 

local/
  Pepper&Carrot/
    cover.jpg
    ComicInfo.xml
    Episode 01.cbz
    Episode 02/
      001.png

Then open Local source in Browse › Sources, listed under Other. Series you changed in the last week show under its Latest list.

Files it reads #

  • A chapter is a folder of images, or an archive: .zip, .cbz, .rar, .cbr, .7z, .cb7, .tar, .cbt, or .epub.
  • Chapters are named after their file or folder, and numbered from that name.
  • Files and folders whose names start with a dot are ignored.

Cover and details #

  • A picture named cover, such as cover.jpg or cover.png, becomes the cover. Without one, Katari takes the first chapter's first page and saves it as cover.jpg.
  • A ComicInfo.xml beside the chapters gives the title, author, artists, description, genres and status. If a chapter archive holds one, Katari copies it out. Inside a chapter, its own ComicInfo.xml can name and number that chapter.
