Kavita Import Tool

Description

Kavita Import Tool allows users to import a variety of eBook, manga, and image files and export them into the correct folder structure for Kavita. When multiple files are imported with the same name, the program picks the best format or the format selected by the user.

The tool currently supports simple file name-based structures like the one below. If you have a different structure you would like to see supported, please create an issue with the details.

Example folder structure:

kavita-import-tool-output-[epoch time]
  ┖── LearningAssemblyLanguage
        ┖── LearningAssemblyLanguage.epub 
      RustForTypeScriptDevelopers
          ┖── RustForTypeScriptDevelopers.pdf
