Manga/Webcomics that aren't on Anilist

[Vodes]

Would it be possible to download those without mangal adding a comicinfo to them? Might be somewhat of an edgecase tbh.

One such example would be The Beginning After the End which is available on plenty of manga sites

Hi! If I understand you correctly - you want to disable metadata fetching?

You can do it by executing this command

mangal config set -k metadata.fetch_anilist -v false

Or manually editing the config file

[metadata]
fetch_anilist = false

...Or by changing an environment variable MANGAL_METADATA_FETCH_ANILIST

---

If you want to disable ComicInfo.xml generation use this

mangal config set -k metadata.comic_info_xml -v false

Would be cool to have it in inline, so it wouldn't mess up the other manga I'm downloading. For example if I were to add a cronjob for it inside of my kaizoku container

I think you might want this inline flag

-f, --fetch-metadata Populate manga metadata

I'm not entirely sure what that does. From what I can tell, inline always adds comicinfos and series.json. I would love a flag to not do that

I see. Well, I can add that, sure.

But just in case you want to temporarily disable metadata fetching you can use this flag like that

--fetch-metadata=false

That way it will still create both ComicInfo and series.json files (if specified so in config), but it won't ask anilist to fill missing fields, e.g. summary, tags or anything else

Ah alright that makes sense. I'll try if that's enough for me 🙂
