ComicRack metadata

KCC read XML file called ComicInfo.xml in the root of the CBZ/CBR/CB7 archive.

Currently following ComicRack metadata fields are used:

• Series field is used as a book title.
• Volume number and chapter Number is added to the book title.
• Names declared in fields: Writer, Penciller, Inker and Colorist will be used as book authors.
• Bookmarks will be used to create TOC if input archive have a flat directory structure.
• Summary field will be used as book description.

KCC have build-in simple metadata editor.

If ComicRack is used make sure that metadata is saved inside comic package! Right click comic in the library and choose Update Book Files option to do that.

ComicTagger can also be used to write metadata inside CBZ/CBR file. Just make sure you write them in ComicRack format.
