Settings Available
All of the Options available in Settings
With the exception on enabling Folder Monitoring, all options can be updated in the Settings page.
Missing Issue Configuration
The two options here will vary greatly on how much you use Missing Issue Check and how your library is structured.
IGNORED TERMS: Add a comma-separated list of words/terms to ignore while checking for missing issues. Update these terms and re-run the missing issue check to better parse your library.
IGNORED FILES: Add a comma-separated list of files to ignore when checking for missing issues. Your collection may be a mix of CBZ/CBR/PDF or other files but if you have other files in your directories you want excluded, just add them here.
Directory & File Processing Settings
Enable Subdirectories for Conversion: This specifically allows Convert Directoryto traverse subdirectories and convert all CBR/RAR files to CBZ. This is not enabled by default - as running this on a high level folder AND a large collection could take quite a bit of time.
SKIPPED TYPES: Add a comma-separated list of extensions to skip while performing actions on files. When any operation unpacks a RAR/ZIP File, files with these extensions will be skipped. They will be re-added to the archive. Examples are .xml
DELETED TYPES: Add a comma-separated list of extensions to delete while performing actions on files. When any operation unpacks a RAR/ZIP File, files with these extensions will deleted before the file is re-packed. Examples are: .nfo,.sfv,.db,.DS_Store
Folder Monitoring
This is the most extensive set of features and will only be applicable if Folder Monitoring is enabled. Most of these feature flags enhance the previous feature flag.
WATCH: The folder that will be monitored for files being added. This setting is dependent on the optional location mapped during Quickstartguide.
TARGET: The folder where files will be after they are processed. This setting is dependent on the optional location mapped during Quickstartguide.
IGNORED EXTENSIONS: File types listed here will be ignored by the file monitoring process. Many of these file types are tempfile types and should be ignore. However, if you want to have others files in the WATCH folder and not have them processed with your enabled options - add those extenison types here.
Auto CBZ Conversion: If enabled, when CBR files are downloaded, this will auto-convert them to CBZ
Auto ZIP Extraction: If enabled, when ZIP files are added to your WATCH folder, this will automatically extract them. This does not create folders. It uses the structure within the ZIP file.
For ZIP only, this specifically bypasses the IGNORED EXTENSIONS.
Processing Sub-Directories: If enabled, this will perform monitoring functions on sub-directories within your WATCH folder. For example, if you have /WATCH/archive01.zip and it is auto-extracted to /WATCH/archiveeach file will be processed and moved to /TARGET.
Moving Sub-Directories: If enabled, this will preserve any sub-directories in your /WATCH folder when they are moved to your TARGET folder. For example, if you have /WATCH/archive01.zip and it is auto-extracted to /WATCH/archiveeach file will be processed and moved to /TARGET/archive.
Auto Cleanup Orphan Files: If you are using the monitoring and Chrome Extension for downloads, failed downloads will be removed at regular intervals.
Cleanup Interval (hours): Set the timing for removing orphaned files.

API Download Configuration
Custom Headers for Auth
Depending on your authentication/VPN/etc to protect your site, this setting will allow you to pass custom auth variables or anything else in the header. Simply enter the content you need to pass as JSON.
The example provided shows you how to pass Client ID and Client Secret to authenticate to your site.
{
"CF-Access-Client-Id":"you-client-id",
"CF-Access-Client-Secret":"your-secret"
}PixelDrain API Key
For the File Downloads feature, you can bypass daily limits by entering your API key in this field.
Performance and Timeout Settings
Allows you to better manage large files depending on your system. Adjusting these values will enable/disable additional timing checks when processing large files (converting or rebuilding files). The default settings on average systems should easily handle converting a 2GB CBR file to CBZ.
Cache Management
v4 Introduced searches and improved cache management. To allow you to search your library quickly, a cached search index is built when the app starts and rebuilt every 6 hours.
From this area in admin, you can manually trigger a cache rebuild or clear the current cache.
Settings are show, but currently hard coded, for:
Cache Rebuild Interval (hours)
Timing for automatically rebuilding the cache. Default is every 6 hours
Cache Duration (seconds)
When browsing in file manager, directory listings are cached (default 5-seconds) to speed up moving back and forth between views.
Maximum Cache Size
Determines the number of directories that can be cached in memory while browsing. Current default value is set to 100 directories.
ComicInfo.XML Updates
All of these features related to updating/cleaning the ComicInfo.xml file in archives. I would consider these experimental or beta features - in that they have been tested the least.
Update Volume to First Issue Year: If there is not a volume year in the ComicInfo.xml this will read the (YEAR) from the first issue in the folder and update the volume year for each file to match.
Remove All Markdown Content: When enabled, if there are tables, bold text, or headers in the Comments field of the ComicInfo.xml file, they will be removed.
Remove 'Covers & Creators' Table: When enabled, if there is a Covers & Creators table in the Comments field of the ComicInfo.xml file, it will be removed.
Save & Restart
SAVE: Click the Save button to save any changes you have made to the app.
RESTART APP: Only require on the initial install and a quick way to force restart to reload the config/settings changes.
