How to use

Set covers

  1. Run script
  2. Select all covers you want to apply
  3. Select if you want to overwrite or not.

Delete covers

  1. After opening the tool click Delete Covers
  2. Select the .cbz that you want to remove the cover. They will be added to the queue and will be marked with a recycle bin image that says DELETE.
  3. Click process
  4. Wait

Recover covers

The changes are always backed up.

This means that if a cover was deleted or overwritten, it will actually be renamed to "OldCover_<filename.ext>.bak"

What the tool does is rename back the file and delete any image named the same or 000.ext if it was appended.

Note: each file change only backs up once. If you delete 2 covers from the same file the first one will be deleted.

  1. After opening the tool click Recover Covers
  2. Select the .cbz that you want to Recover the cover. They will be added to the queue and will be marked with a green rounded arrow image that says RECOVER.
  3. Click process
  4. Wait
