Scheduled Tasks

Configure recurring background jobs: file-index rebuilds, GetComics scraping and auto-download, Metron series sync, and reading-list sync. Times are entered in your local timezone (set via Settings → Personalization) and stored as UTC.

Index & Sync Management

Manage the application's file search index stored in SQLite. The index provides fast searching across your entire library.

How it works: The file index is stored persistently in the database and automatically updates when you move, rename, or delete files. You can manually rebuild it or schedule automatic rebuilds to ensure data accuracy.

Index Status:

Last Rebuild:

Next Scheduled:

Manually rebuild the entire file index. This scans all files in your data directory and updates the database. Use this if search results seem outdated.

Automatic Rebuild Schedule

Configure automatic file index rebuilds to keep your search results up-to-date.

GetComics Scrape Index Schedule

Pre-populate the GetComics scrape index by scraping sitemap URLs for tracked series. The scrape index stores page titles, issue info, and download links locally so future wanted-issues searches don't need to hit GetComics live.
