hdoujin-metadata-converter

What the heck?

These python scripts should convert info.txt files from HDoujinDownloader to info.json files.

Why the heck?

The use case I have is migrating from HappyPanda, which uses info.txt files for metadata, to Lanraragi, which uses info.json files for metadeta. I do not want to re-download all the metadata for my collection, so I wrote these scripts to convert existing info.txt files to info.json files without needing to re-download anything.

How the heck?

You need to have python3 installed for these scripts to work.

• How to use conv.py:

  • save conv.py to the directory containing the info.txt file you wish to convert.
  • open the cmd or powershell to the directory that now contains the inf.txt file and the conv.py file
  • type python conv.py
  • press enter
  • profit

  For this to work your collection needs to have the following layout:

  • /some_path
    • /doujin_name01
      • /image01
      • /info.txt
      • /conv.py

• How to use batchconv.py

  • save batchconv.py to the directory containing your doujins
  • open the cmd or powershell to the directory that now contains your doujins and the batchconv.py file
  • type python batchconv.py
  • press enter
  • profit

  For this to work your collection needs to have the following layout:

  • /some_path
    • /doujin_name01
      • /image01
      • /info.txt
    • /doujin_name02
      • /image01
      • /info.txt
    • /batchconv.py

I hope these instructions are clear.

Why is it so heckin' bad?

I am not a developer. I looked at the python docs and examples I found online to piece these scripts together. This is certainly not the only nor the best way to go about this. It feels good to have gotten it working though!
