Hello, Anraiki and Rajlaksh
I think you don’t have to do much to make a system of “FTP dumper”. If I were you, I’ll just make a script for a button “Check for new chapters” under the subject “Upload by FTP”, which can check for new “chapters” directories, open, and find images in those chapters then update database automatically. And yeah, It’s not really hard to make the script know chapters’ name. Just make users put some text file with chapters’ summary in the same directory of images (with the specified name like “inform” or something). Well, This is possible and not really hard for me. I’ll try making this if I have a chance and time.
Anyway, Rajlaksh, I think there’s no way to find any images in ZIP without extracting it (Because Web Server looks at ZIP files as FILES not DIRECTORY). Kommiku’s Dumper works by uploading ZIP file with images in it, Extracting it and moving images to the directory that they should be in, And then deleting the ZIP file. This solution is good enough to show every images in the ZIP file. By the way, About Download service, I’ve heard about scripts that can compress files in directories to ZIP files temporarily though, I’ve never searched this. But if it’s exist (I think it is) I’m sure this script can be a new feature of Kommiku as well.
