This is a fork of Komikku and NOT the official repo. It will almost definitely have issues. The personal branch is where I make my changes. Most of the time, both upstream and this branch are essentially the same because I try to upstream all the working changes asap and I have a pretty comfortable reading environment here now.

Basically, don't use this.

Major differences right now (in order of stability):

• Chapters are downloaded in the order that you selected them in the Chapters list and not based on chapter list sorting. Seems stable, especially since it simply adds a variable and that's basically it.
• Search within chapter lists, only accessible by beginning to type. There is no search button. The selection behavior during search works as I want and expect it to work, but it might not be ideal for everyone.
• MangaDex BBCode support in synopsis or manga description and possible HTML support in other sites.
• Experimental Tachiyomi backup import functionality. Not sure it'll work for anyone else and even if it does, it's not assured to properly work at least.

The actual README follows. It's mostly the same as the official README.

Dependencies:

• git
• ninja
• meson >= 0.50.0
• python >= 3.8
• gtk >= 3.24.1
• libhandy >= 1.2.0
• python-beautifulsoup4
• python-brotli

This is the best practice to test Komikku without installing using meson and ninja.

git clone https://gitlab.com/valos/Komikku
make setup
make local

make local

make run

To use the development profile, use make develop instead of make local.

WARNING: This approach is discouraged, since it will manually copy all the files in your system. Uninstalling could be difficult and/or dangerous.

But if you know what you're doing, here you go:

git clone https://gitlab.com/valos/Komikku
cd Komikku
make
make install

If you've already used Option 2, do:

make clean
make
make install

You may need to run make install with sudo.
