Folder structure of e-books

The eBookshelf Generator assumes that e-books are stored in the following folder structure.

[Book folder]\[Title/Category folder]\[e-book file]
[Book folder] may be a subfolder of other folder. It can also be on a network drive such as NAS. All e-book files must be stored in one of [Title/Category folder]. E-book files stored immediately under [Book folder] are ignored.

Under [Title/Category folder], another [Title/Category folder] can be placed (subfolder). Up to 5 subfolders can be created. The number of hierarchies of subfolder is specified by "Subfolder hierarchies" (initial value is 1) on setting screen. Folders over this level are ignored.

Up to five [Book folder] can be specified simultaneously. All e-books included in the specified book folders are output together in one eBookshelf. All [Book folder] to be processed at the same time must be on the same drive or server.

Supported e-book formats(extension) are .zip/.rar/.pdf/.epub/ .txt/ .cbz/ .cbr/ .cb7/ .cbt/ .cba. It is assumed that e-books in compressed format contains text (.txt) or images (.jpg/ .jpeg/ .png). Also, a single image file (.jpg/ .jpeg/ .png) stored in [Title/Category folder] is handled as one e-book. Files of other formats are ignored.

If a special symbol used in URL encoding such as '%' or '+' is included in [Title/Category folder] name or [e-book file] name, the book may not be displayed correctly. In this case, change the special symbol to another letter.

How to name folders and e-books

If you include categories and author names in [Title/Category folder] name or [e-book file] name, automatically generated indexes (table of contents) classified by these information.

Naming example of title / category folder


"(Category) [Author Name] Title"
"(Category) [Author Name] Title Total n volumes"
"(Category) [Author Name]"
"[Author Name] Title"
"(Category)"
"Title"
and so on.

Naming example of e-book file


"(Category) [Author Name] Title Volume n"
"[Author Name] Title Volume n"
"Title Volume n [Author Name]"
"Title Volume n (Category)"
"Title Volume n"
"Title"
and so on.

Categories must be enclosed in parentheses. Author Names must be enclosed in brackets. You can specify any word in Category. Contiguous blanks included in title name are replaced with a single space in eBookshelf.

Writing category, author name, volume number

Categories, author names, and volume number used for classification are extracted from title / category folder names and e-book file names according to the following rules.

If you name according to the above, Category sort and Author Name sort will be done appropriately. You can specify your favorite words in the Category.

Category example
HowTo, Essay, Computer, Literature, Cooking, Travel, Science, Language, PictureBook, ArtBook, MonthlyMagazine, GeneralComics, GeneralGirlsComics, GeneralNovels, Doujinshi, SensualNovels, AdultComics, e.t.c.

Browsing with IE,Edge / URL encoding setting

Links in eBookshelf HTML file
The link URL to another page written in generated eBookshelf HTML file is encoded UTF-8 by default. However, in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge, encoded link URLs are interpreted as Unicode encoded, so "page missing" errors occur. So, URL encoding should not be done when browsing with IE, Edge.

The link URL encoding method can be select in [HTML output] - [HTML link encoding] on setting screen. Select "No-ENCODE" here when you use IE, Edge.

If a special symbol used in URL encoding such as '%' or '+' is included in [Title/Category folder] name or [e-book file] name when "No-ENCODE" is selected, the book may not be displayed correctly. In this case, change the special symbol to another letter.

Links to e-book
The link to e-book may includes the title string like Japanese KANJI, KANA. For this reason, UTF-8 encoding is selected as the initial value. The URL encoding of link to e-book can be specified in [Cover image] - [Book name link encoding] / [Cover image link encoding] on setting screen.

When the cover image is not displayed properly

In case of .zip/ .rar/ .pdf/ .epub/ .cbz/ .cbr file, first image file (jpg / png) appearing in alphabetical order of the file names contained therein is used as the cover image. When the cover image is different from expectation, you need to change the file name in e-book. Please decompress the e-book, rename files in them for change order, and recompress. Or, image file included in the e-book may be partially broken. In this case, it may be resolved by reading the image file with image editing software and rewrit it. For e-books in the RAR / CBR format, the cover image is not displayed when compressed in latest RAR 5 format. Please recompress in RAR 4 or earlier format.

Furthermore, the cover image is not displayed for copyright protection, password protected e-book files and txt files. Also, if you select "Do not generate" in [Cover image] - [How to generate] on setting screen, all cover images will not be displayed.

FYI:
You can use free software Flexible Renamer(Vector) or お~瑠璃ね~む(Vector) for batch change of file name.

When cover image is bad quality

The cover images displayed on eBookshelf are created by reducing original e-book images. "SCALE_FAST" is selected as a reduction method (algorithm) in order to prioritize processing speed in initial value. If you feel image quality is bad, try changing this to another method such as "SCALE_SMOOTH".

You can select reduction method (algorithm) [Cover image] - [Downscaling algorithm] on setting screen.

In order to be able to download e-books when tapping or clicking the cover image, you need to set [Book name link base path] / [Cover image link base path] on [Cover image] tab of setting screen appropriately.

Links to e-book file can be set in two places per one e-book, on title name and cover image. You can specify different URLs individually.

The links to e-book files will be generated by this program as follows.

  • Delete drive name / server name from the full path to each e-book file traced from "Input folders".
  • At the top of this string, add the path (URI scheme) specified in "base path" of setting screen.
The specific designation method is explained below.

For example, when e-books are stored in

\\NAS\Multimedia\data\books\[Title folder]\[e-book file]
Please set as follows
Input folders "\\NAS\Multimedia\data\books"
base path "http://[Host name or IP address of NAS]"(When using http)
or
"ftp://[Host name or IP address of NAS]"(When using ftp)
(There are *notes)

[2]-2 When a folder on the NAS is assigned to a network drive


For example, when e-books are stored in

\\NAS\Multimedia\data\books\[Title folder]\[e-book file]
and assign
\\NAS\Multimedia\data
to "X:" as network drive, Please set as follows
Input folders "X:\books"
or

We are looking for an excellent bookshelf design (skin) from everyone. If you have a nice design please contact us. We will consider incorporating it in the next version upgrade.

Information file

If you store "Information file" in text format directly under each title folder, its contents will be reflected on each title page of eBookshelf. When you write categories and subcategories in this file, an index using these information is automatically generated. The prescribed value of the information file name is "_information.info" (character code is SJIS). This name can be changed in [Basics] - [Book info. file name] on setting screen.

Contents of information file

Write informations with delimiter ":" in the form of "keyword : value" (any number of spaces can be inserted before and after ":"). Enter one keyword per line. Do not put a line break in the middle of a keyword or a value. Informations can be described are as follows.

Keywords
Title NameTitle (also extracted from folder name)
Author NameAuthor name (also extracted from [] of the folder name)
Title ReadTitle reading (for Japanese)
Author ReadAuthor reading (for Japanese)
InfoCommentary of the title. Synopsis of books etc.
Category1Category (major classification). Only one category can be specified per title (It is also extracted from () of the folder name)
Category2Subcategory. Multiple subcategory can be specified per title, delimiter is tab, comma, blank

Example

Author Name : AuthorNameA, CreatorNameB
Info : Synopsis of this book, descriptive text.
Category1 : GeneralComics
Category2 : LoveComedy, SF&Fantasy, Gag&Comedy

It is not necessary to describe all keywords. Only information being described will be reflected on eBookshelf.

Information such as titles, authors, categories, etc. is first extracted from the title / category folder name, and when there is an information file, e-book information is updated with its contents. You can specify your favorite words in categories and subcategories.

Example of subcategory
LoveComedy, LoveStory, Juvenile, SF&Fantasy, Gag&Comedy, Mystery&Suspense, Sexy, HumanDrama, Politics&Business, History, HistoricalDrama, GirlsLove, Battle&Action, Campus, Cooking&Gourmet, Sports, Heartwarming, Rupo&Essay, Detective, Horror, Literature, e.t.c.
See Writing category, author name, volume number for example of categories.

How to write the author's name in case of co-authorship

Authors, creators, coauthors, etc., for books created by multiple authors, you can enumerate multiple author names using delimiters. This delimiter is specified in [Author names separator] on [Basics] setting screen. This can be specified by regular expression.

Example of Author names separator


  • "," (Comma), " " (white space)
  • Character X (Uppercase, lowercase):X x
  • Japanese Character × (Multiply): UTF-8(0x817E)

To specify all of them, input "[Xx× ,]+" as a regular expression. However, in this case, if author's name contains an alphabetic X, it will be divided as a separate author there.

The initial value is set to "[×,]+" (Japanese "Multiply" and ","). Please describe [AuthorA×AuthorB] or [AuthorA,AuthorB] in folder name or book file name.

Determination method of newcomer

From the date information of e-book file, it is judged whether or not it is "Newcomer", and matching books are displayed in "Newcomer" page. This is specified in the [Period for Newcomer] on [Basics] setting screen. Here, specified by the number of months. The initial value is 3 months. You can choose between following two judgment methods (in the case of compressed files such as Zip, RAR, ePub etc.).

  • Use last modified date of e-book file.
  • Use oldest one of last modified date of individual files included in e-book file.
This is specified in [Date determination method] on [Basics] setting screen.
If you select to check individual files in e-book, it takes time to generate eBookshelf, because check all files in compressed e-book. However, for books that have been checked once, the date information are saved in system file, so second and subsequent eBookshelf generation will be speeded up. The system file that stores date information is app/bookfiledate.txt under the installation folder of this program.

If you tap the (table) icon in the lower right of each e-book on the "Newcomer" page, title page to which the e-book belongs will be open.

Output lists of collections

You can output lists of your e-book collection that can be used for collection management. To do this, select each item on [Data output] tab on setting screen. "Title list" (csv or txt format) and various classification result list (json format) can be output. In both lists output file name is fixed. Specify output folder in "Destination folder" column at the bottom of [Data output] screen.

Title list


This is the title list of e-books in your collection. Output file name is "ebookshelf_titlelist_ [date] .txt / csv". In the "Output conditions" column, you can specify either complete titles (those containing "Total n volumes" in title name), incomplete titles, or both. (Temporary it works in Japanese only.) If you specify a keyword in the "Keyword for category" column, only titles classified as categories containing that keyword are output. Up to nine items can be specified as output items. If you select items from each drop-down list in "Output item (maximum 9 items)" column, that will be output in one line per title in that order.

Various classification result list


You can choose lists classified under various conditions in the "JSON data output" column. Whole library, Sort result by category, subcategory, author and so on, eight classification results can be output. The output format is only json. Please use them in programs corresponding to json format file reading.

Support of CDisplay Archived Comic Books
