Download Lists for Bulk Downloading about webtoepub HOT 15 OPEN

@UnknownSora

the individual input of the links when needing to download multiple,

Multiple what? Chapters? Stories? If stories, then I'd suggest you look into one of the other tools out there, like FanFicFare.

from webtoepub.

Trust me, I’ve checked, and searched.

FanficFare has lost support of webnovel for a while now, and the only other app I found has been discontinued for awhile while also not having any bulk download functions

It’s just a recommendation, it doesn’t really need to happen but I feel that it’d add a lot more usability to this extension, something like just expanding the input box to support multiple links to start after the first and then download as it goes or all until the end would make this so, so much better

I'm not sure WebToEpub could be automated to do this. Because it runs inside the browser, due to security issues, there's things it can't do. And I'm not sure it's possible to save an Epub without manually interacting with a user.

That said, have you tried the "Reading List" under "Advanced Options"? It's been a while since I wrote that.
But IIRC, the idea is, check the "Include in Reading List" button, and WebToEpub will keep track of the stories when you download them. And you can view them with the "View Reading List", I don't recall if it includes hyperlinks to the stories in the Reading list.

Ah, when I meant automated, I meant something like, putting in a file with all the links, it reads it and then collects them like the chapters, and then once all done maybe it could download as a zip? So like, the user would still press pack, it’d just continue after the first was done into seperate files, there’s extensions out there that can download multiple images so I imagine it’d be possible to download them when it’s complete and then continue onto the next

So, I don’t know about anyone else, but I get pretty frustrated with the individual input of the links when needing to download multiple, it’s tedious and I really don’t have the time for it, so I’d like to suggest adding a feature where you can write the links down in a text file to upload to the extension so that once complete, it’ll continue on to the next or something along those lines.

Something where I could grab all the links and not have to put them in manually once the old one is complete is what I’m after. Hope this gets implemented, thanks for the great plug in <3

you can actually do it manually if you try to use

this feature
basically paste the links inside
you have to manually edit it a bit

so i hope dteviot can add maybe import links txt file
then parse it to something like
from

www.wordress.com/chapter1.html
into
<a href="www.wordress.com/chapter1.html">chapter 1</a>

to add meta data you can use the input here and paste novel updates link here click the button

from webtoepub.

Thanks but that’s not what I’m looking for, it’d probably be faster to just do it manually at that point, appreciate it anyways tho <3

Here’s some examples I could see working
(1) You put in multiple links, then once one story is finished extracting and starts downloading, it starts the other one
(2) You put in multiple links, it finishes extracting all of them, and then downloads them in a zip
(3) You put the links in a text file, it reads the file and begins extracting them again

There’s many extensions that download multiple files, and you already kind of do that with the chapters for an epub, it’d basically just be like that, except rather then put in each chapter link individually, once it finishes it finds the chapters of a link and then downloads it like I said again

in my case I’d be putting in this kind of link multiple times

just to be clear you want it to handle multiple novels and not chapters? afaik webtoepub supports webnovel.com

or you want the extention to like lets say press next and get the link?for that chapter and so on? then once its all chapter links complete download it?

if thats the case i wanted it too but i think webtoepub have to crawl in the site which is kinda hard as web to epub only scans one page TOC and cant be used or only be used manually when no toc i actually want this feature but i think some limitation do prevent this to be implemented for a web extention not sure tho

this fork of a repo does this https://github.com/kevin01523/WebNovelConverter
it crawls the site from chapter 1 and gets the links then grabs the text from the links it got then convert to epub its similar to how webtoepub works when it grabs the chapter content via css selectors

surprisingly it still works on basic wordpress and blogspot web novel sites although it hasnt been updated for years

That’s interesting, but yeah, multiple novels

That’s interesting, but yeah, multiple novels

if multiple novels on one epub
theres some hacky way to do it basically open web to epub on each toc of each novel and click edit chapters and cut the chapter list or copy and then paste into which webtoepub windows you want include the chapter of the novels basically bundle em togerther in ONE epub

from webtoepub.

Ah no, sorry for late response, but I mean like how some image grabbers are able to download multiple files, like that, essentially once one’s done, it starts the second link and then when that’s done it keeps going until the list is done.

@UnknownSora
I think the way I would approach this is use something like Selenium to drive WebToEpub.

Thanks, I’ll give it a look, I’ve experimented with a mouse automation tool, but it’s abit of a pain having the extra step with downloading the images separately, not to mention having to make sure each grab is aligned perfectly, and not being able to do anything else while it works, so hopefully your suggestion will work abit better, it looks good

@UnknownSora

This looks interesting. If I read it correctly, it's a scrapper for WebNovel that uses Selenium
