Aw lordy, that Comic Book Archive Creator really saved my bacon! It makes it so I can properly arrange files within the CBZ. I had a comic with a weird numbering system that wasn't being read properly on the Poke 2 and I thought I was gonna go crazy. This program nicely solves my problem by letting me reorder pages before compiling. Thanks for introducing me to it!

Do you use Mac by any chance? In Windows 10, you don't need the Open With plugin. Just go to Calibre - Preference - Behavior and de-select whichever file format you don't want it opening. In this case it'd be CBZ. I have CDisplayEX associated with CBZ/R files in Windows. When I click on a book within Calibre, it will open CDisplayEX instead of its default reader.

I found this out while trying to figure out how to get Open With to work.

Speaking of figuring things out... I can't figure out how to install Embed Comic Metadata as the download file is a bunch of coding files and I don't know what to do with them. Do I unzip them all into a separate file?

I recently updated Calibre to 5 and I'm wondering if this plugin would even work with version 5. It hasn't been updated in over a year....

In the meantime, I've been using Mangadex and it's Information links to manually input metadata within calibre for my comics. It's not exactly the fastest method but at least it's all copy and pasting, rather than writing everything out... :/

Anyway, thanks a lot for replying!
