cbr2cbz

BASH tool to convert cbr files to cbz files either in batch or one by one.

Download the tool using:

$ git clone git@git.zaks.web.za:thisiszeev/cbr2cbz.git

$ chmod +x cbr2cbz.sh

$ sudo cp cbr2cbz.sh /usr/bin/cbr2cbz

That's it.

Usage:

Convert a single file.

$ cbr2cbz single "filename.cbr"

Convert all files recursively from the current location.

$ cbr2cbz all

Display help text.

$ cbr2cbz help

Warning:

If conversion is successful, the original file(s) will be deleted.

Dependancies:

The script requires "zip" and "unrar". Please ensure they are installed before trying to run the script. A simple online search will help you with this. At a later stage I will build an install and update functionality which will do this automatically.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Currently, the tool uses a fixed location for the temp files and the files list. If you decide to run this two in two sessions, they will conflict and you will have a bad day. At a later stage, I will add support to allow more than one session to be run at a time, for all those hardcore users.

ROAD MAP

I am currently trying to add the support for a log file and statistics. Having a few issues, so my most recent and non-working commit is in the unstable folder.

I never check my email. If you would like to get hold of me, send me a DM on Reddit u/thisiszeev

I am looking for someone to port this to Windows Powershell. Contact me on Reddit if you are interested?

Donations

Please consider making me small donation. Even though my scripts are open source and free to use, I still need to eat. And the occasional bottle of wine also goes down well.

• $5 buys me a cup of coffee
• $10 buys me a nice burger
• $20 buys me a bottle of wine
• Anything above that will be awesome as well.

You can send me a donation via Paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thisiszeev

Drop me a message on Reddit if you do make a donation. u/thisiszeev

Support is only offered freely to those who donate $20 or more.

Your donation contributes to further development.

If you need a custom script, contact me on Reddit for pricing.

I will eventually add support for more formats and in different directions. Right now, I had 10 000 + files, and some were cbr and some were cbz, but my device has issues with cbr, probably because RAR is a closed patent. So I wanted to convert all my cbr files to cbz, for my own needs.
