Read text file, search in X source, add all matches

[Tornadoblast950]

Describe your suggested feature

a way to make the app read a .txt file and automatically find the manga and add it to your library in a given source would be quite useful for people trying to migrate from other sites and don't want to manually add every manga/manhwa individually and then migrate them afterwards

Why not just migrate while you're making the list

[MajorTanya]

Some of Mihon's endorsed forks might support some mass migration, and their backups are compatible with Mihon.
So you could check https://mihon.app/forks and see if one of those supports something you're looking for. If one of them does, you can perform this migration there, create a backup file, and then restore that backup file in Mihon.

I guess I wasn't clear enough, I don't just want mass migration, I specifically want the app to read a text file and add the manga in it, this is the main issue that's stopping me from going to mihon or it's forks, I don't want to have to manually add almost 400 entries twice (first by finding it in the source, then migrating each one individually since there isn't any mass migration)
I've also checked the forks, and either they don't have it either, or I couldn't find it.

Yeah, that won't happen, how would you even make sure it adds them? Some sources use English titles, while others use romaji, it would be too scuff to ever be a well polished feature

some sources have all the names in english or at least don't use symbols in their names, and for the ones that do I don't see what's stopping that from working either. I wasn't asking for it to search all sources either, just one that you can specify

[...] I don't want to have to manually add almost 400 entries twice (first by finding it in the source, then migrating each one individually since there isn't any mass migration) [...].

Just directly add to the source you want. Why are you adding it another source first anyway.

As for the feature "Read text file, search in X source, add all matches" it won't be added

Just noting that if you're coming from Tachiyomi and are asking this to migrate to Mihon or its forks, you can literally just use a Tachiyomi backup in Mihon 👍

this was a feature in tachyomi?

Obviously no, Tachiyomi did not have mass migration. I was just mentioning that you can use Tachiyomi backups in Mihon because I thought you were a Tachiyomi user who wants to migrate to Mihon but didn't know that backups were compatible.
