Additional book filtering capabilities

[AmadeusGraves]

Hello, I have Komga to manage my library of books, I usually insert files from various formats and
I encountered with a problem which is not able to filter books that not have for example author (This always happens with the PDF files).

Another example is that I can't filter by file format, for example I need to list only PDFs to update the author of these files.

This also happens with files/books that not have cover, there is no filter to list only the books that not have cover.

can you clarify ? there's no overall book view in Komga, books can only be viewed within a Series

seems this is not relevant if you could achieve the first filter

This also happens with files/books that not have cover, there is no filter to list only the books that not have cover.

all books that are not in error should have a cover, can you maybe clarify ?

thanks for the fast response @gotson.

no, i'm not talking about overall book view, i'm refering to the filters that you have when you inside of a Series of Books, i mean, the inputs that you have for example to filter the author, translator, etc. Here is a capture.

in these filters, add one to obtain all books that not have author. With these filter, people will be able to locate all the books/comics that not have author and correct that.

yes at first glance you have reason but the filter of file format also give you the posibility to know witch books are PDFs and search for the EPUB version of this book. When you have more than 200 books, it becomes more dificult to track all PDFs.

Also, my PDFs are edited with the author of the books so by filtering with the author will be imposible to locate witch ones are PDFs.

i'll show you a capture.

i'll leave the epub if you want to test it. It is public domain so i don't think that we have a problem uploading it for the testing purposes.

I am adding Media Profile filtering:

No, thanks to you @gotson. This is an amazing project. 🍻

for the books without poster I was thinking of showing them in Media Analysis.

Adding a filter in the side panel within a series wouldn't be very useful, because you would need to go through each series to find the books without poster.

From the Media Analysis table it would be simpler, and you can go directly to the book page from the link, so you can add a poster if needed.

Here is a proposed approach.

Default Media Analysis does not show missing poster:

But it can be selected:

In the end i went with a new view:
