[Feature Request]: Currently reading and metadata

[JackGraymer]

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Describe your suggested feature

2 Features that I missed making look for a different alternative:

1. A currently reading feature, because remembering which chapter of One Piece you are reading is too hard.
2. Retrieve metadata/nicer comic display. Instead of an infinite grid of very small images, get from a DB metadata and display the cover, description and in a list, the chapters.

Think like a netflix or Plex but for comics and manga.

But honestly N. 2 is not so important as for a way to remember what I am reading and where did I left of last time.

Thanks.

A currently reading feature, because remembering which chapter of One Piece you are reading is too hard.

This function is currently available in OpenComic, although there were some bugs related to it in previous versions (#56), all are fixed in the latest beta version v1.0.0-beta.5

For continuing reading to work correctly the folder structure must be as follows:

Library
├───Frieren
├───One Piece
├───One Punch Man

And not like this:

Library
├───Manga
│   ├───Frieren
│   └───One Punch Man
├───Comics

You can use master folders for the above structure.

Retrieve metadata/nicer comic display. Instead of an infinite grid of very small images, get from a DB metadata and display the cover, description and in a list, the chapters

You can use the local artwork assets for set a poster (Right click in folder).
Regarding showing the description/chapters, at the moment I do not plan to do this in OpenComic, although OpenComic has the function of synchronizing with sites (Only AniList), from there you can see the poster on the site and the number of chapters/volumes (I think that only if it is finished).
