Unsupported directory structure

Source directory/archive have the incorrect directory structure.
The most common issue is having a cover image and individual chapter folders on the same level. Move the cover image into the first chapter's folder, renaming as necessary to ensure it is first in the file order.
Check this for more details.

Extraction failed.

Install specialized extraction software: https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc/wiki/Installation#7-zip

- You cannot use the 'directory' feature with e.g. CBR files. Add them manually by multi-selection via "Add File(s)"
