## How to use

1. Download the current version of the script

2. Edit the script variables to your needs

3. Run the Script and select the folder with your comics (`.\ComicScaler.ps1`)

4. Wait for the script to finish

## Configuration

The script allows you to configure multiple variables to your needs. You can find them at the top of the script.

**Optional changes:**

- `$waifu2xArguments` - Change the [upscaler arguments](https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan#usages) (default arguments are best if you don't know what you are doing)

- `$upscaleName` - If you want don't want to overwrite your original files, you can change the name of the upscaled files (default: `_upscaled` - e.g. `comic.cbz` -> `comic_upscaled.cbz`). Leave empty to overwrite the original files.

- `$deleteOriginal` - If you want to delete the original files after upscaling, set this to `$true` (default: `$false`)

- `$recursiveLookup` - Will try to upscale all files in subfolders (default: `$false`)

- `$showWaifu2xOutput` - Will show an additional window with the waifu2x output (default: `$false`)

- `$use7zip` - Uses 7zip to zip/unzip the files instead of the built-in PowerShell function (default: `$true`). This is faster and allows for a higher compression rate and better compatibility with other zip formats. If you don't have 7zip installed, set this to `$false` and the script will use the built-in powershell function.
