Description of the new feature / enhancement

I would like the ability to specify whether I am opening a comic that is a folder of images, or a folder of folders, or (the current default), the first folder of images in a folder of folders. I have a mix of the two arrangements (many comics are short and do not easily break into chapters), and I would like to be able to open them without having every other comic showing up as a chapter.

Reading single-folder comics also breaks the Continue Reading pane, because it believes you are in a new chapter.

Case 1: Comic Name / Img001.png Img002.png ...

Case 2: Comic Name / Ch1 / Img001.png Img002.png ... Ch2 / Img001.png Img002.png ... ...

Case 3 (Current assumed default): Same as Case 2, but selecting the Ch1 folder.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be most useful when there is a mix of long multi-chapter comics and single-folder comics.

Note: This is not quite the same as #326, since I don't care about archives.

How would webcomics have single folders? When you download them wouldn't they have this structure,

Tetragramm commented 8 months ago

Not all comics are long enough to need chapters, and some websites do not conveniently include chapters in file names, meaning it is easier to have all of the files in one folder as opposed to manually finding the chapter breaks.
