| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## Usage |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +### Basic Usage |
| 91 | +```bash |
| 92 | +./imgliex chapters.txt 1 100 |
| 93 | +``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### Advanced Usage |
| 96 | +```bash |
| 97 | +# Process specific range |
| 98 | +./imgliex manga_chapters.txt 50 75 |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +# Different input file |
| 101 | +./imgliex one_piece.txt 1000 1100 |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +### Command Line Arguments |
| 105 | +1. `<filename>`: Input file containing chapter links (required) |
| 106 | +2. `<start_chapter>`: Start chapter number (required) |
| 107 | +3. `<end_chapter>`: End chapter number (required) |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +**Note**: The application automatically detects optimal thread count (max 8 threads) for your system. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +### Input File Format |
| 112 | +The input file should contain chapter information in this format: |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | +# Chapter 1 |
| 115 | +https://example.com/manga/chapter-1 |
| 116 | +
|
| 117 | +# Chapter 2 |
| 118 | +https://example.com/manga/chapter-2 |
| 119 | +
|
| 120 | +# Chapter 3 |
| 121 | +https://example.com/manga/chapter-3 |
| 122 | +``` |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +## Output Structure |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +The application creates a folder structure like this: |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | +<filename>/ |
| 129 | +├── chapter-1/ |
| 130 | +│ └── base.txt # Contains image URLs for chapter 1 |
| 131 | +├── chapter-2/ |
| 132 | +│ └── base.txt # Contains image URLs for chapter 2 |
| 133 | +└── chapter-3/ |
| 134 | + └── base.txt # Contains image URLs for chapter 3 |
| 135 | +``` |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +Each `base.txt` file contains one image URL per line. |
| 138 | + |
