Library ​

Library settings control how Koharia displays and updates content from the current server or local-library connection.

Display ​

Adjust the library layout, column count, and chapter information display to suit your screen and reading habits. Fewer columns usually work better on smaller screens, while more columns make it easier to scan many covers quickly.

Comics and books classification ​

Komga, Kavita, and local libraries can classify content as comics or books; smanga and LANraragi expose entries according to their server media types and Archive structure. Classification affects the shelf entry, filters, and default reader.

If the server adds libraries or account permissions change, refresh the libraries before reviewing their classification.

Local libraries ​

When creating a local-library connection, you can enable separate comics and books libraries, name them, and choose series-library or single-file organization for each content type. After setup, you can also create custom libraries and move folders or items to a compatible library.

Pull to refresh rescans the authorized folders. Removing a folder clears only Koharia's index and does not delete the original files; organization and metadata storage must be confirmed during creation and cannot be changed afterward.

Updates and metadata ​

Library settings also include options related to updates, filters, and metadata refreshes. Kavita may provide custom shelves, collections, reading lists, and Smart Filters; LANraragi provides Categories and smanga provides media-library selection. Server updates use network and server resources, while a local-library scan reads the authorized folders; schedule them according to library size, battery, and storage performance.
