Init Manga v1.6.9 – Faster Creation, Batch Upload to Wasabi, and Full Keyboard Control

Version 1.6.9 marks the final refinement in the 1.6.x cycle — focusing on speed, automation, and a truly practical writing experience. This update introduces the Wasabi Batch Uploader (ZIP Mode) — a powerful bulk upload tool — along with a comprehensive keyboard shortcut system that lets you create, edit, and save chapters without touching the mouse. Everything is fine-tuned for a smooth, natural, and precise creative workflow.

Init Manga v1.6.9 – Faster Creation, Batch Upload to Wasabi, and Full Keyboard Control

Wasabi Batch Uploader – Upload multiple chapters with one ZIP

No more uploading images one by one. Simply compress your chapters into a single .zip file and upload it. The system automatically extracts folders, identifies chapter numbers and titles, uploads images to Wasabi Cloud via presigned PUT URLs, and creates chapters instantly. The entire process is secure, automatic, and doesn’t rely on any SDKs or third-party libraries.

  • Each folder inside the ZIP = one chapter, e.g. 1/, 2 - Extra/, 12.5 - Side Story/.
  • Automatically detects chapter titles and natural order.
  • Uploads securely to Wasabi via presigned PUT URLs — no SDK required.
  • After completion, the chapter list refreshes automatically without page reload.
  • Full support for AVIF, WebP, and metadata (width, height, lazyload, fetchpriority).

Note on upload limits

The maximum file size and processing capacity depend on your server configuration (PHP upload_max_filesize, post_max_size) or, if routed through Cloudflare, on Cloudflare’s upload size limits.

Clean filenames and accurate chapter numbering

The new upload system uses sanitize_title() with a random 12-character hash to ensure clean filenames and prevent overwriting. The redesigned init_manga_norm_chapter_num() logic now guarantees precise chapter numbering — permanently resolving the issue where “Chapter 10” could mistakenly be stored as “Chapter 1”.

Keyboard shortcuts – Create chapters without touching the mouse

The Chapter Editor now supports full keyboard-driven control. You can input, schedule, lock, upload, and save chapters using simple Alt + key combinations. Every action responds instantly, making creation faster and smoother for professional editors.

Shortcut Action
Alt + 1 Focus on chapter number
Alt + 2 Focus on chapter title
Alt + 3 Focus on schedule field
Alt + 4 Focus on lock type selector
Alt + 5 Focus on lock value field
Alt + 6 Trigger local image upload
Alt + 7 Trigger Wasabi upload
Alt + 8 Trigger Init Uploader upload
Alt + 9 Save or add chapter
Alt + Enter Quick save current chapter

The shortcut system is fully IME-safe, ensuring perfect compatibility with Vietnamese and other complex input methods. You can type naturally without losing focus or breaking your workflow.

Smoother writing experience

Pressing Enter inside any input field now performs the “Save Chapter” action instead of triggering a full form submission. This eliminates page reloads and allows for continuous, uninterrupted editing. The result is a faster, more reliable experience for active creators and editors.

End of the 1.6.x cycle

Init Manga v1.6.9 is the final polished release of the 1.6 series — delivering faster uploads, cleaner workflows, and a seamless creation experience. It marks a milestone of stability and maturity for the Init Manga chapter management system, ready to support you in any professional manga project.

Init Manga v1.6.9 – faster uploads, smoother editing, complete keyboard control. Stay tuned to see what the 1.7 series will bring next!
