Cbz/r Files ... Pipedream?


.cbr files are just packed directories with jpegs so just unrar them with winrar and watch them in the photowiever

.cbr = comic book rar archive
.cbz = comic book zip archive

It's not for the compression, Shikaku, it's to have your comics organized neatly with one file per issue.

Yep, also a displayer like CDisplay will allow you to browse the covers
in a directory full of zipped issues, to choose the issue you want to read.

It will also allow you to navigate per issue (archive), and most importantly
set your viewing prefs for all the images as you read.

I can theoretically read the comics image by image with the
built-in jpeg viewer, but each time it loads the image it resizes it.
So you have to zoom in again manually per page. Which is a pain
when all you need to do is orientate and zoom to a level that you
can read the speech bubbles.

If I ever learn to code for the gp2x, in theory a lot of the features needed
may already exist in SDL libs. eg display picture, open zip/rar ?
And it's just a case of enhancing the functionality of the current photoviewer
with some save state/prefs.

mogrify -scale 640x *.jpg
scales all jpegs to 640~480 within the directory youre in
gimp must be installed and its on linux

(maybe we could do a script that opens .cbr .cbz rezises jpegs and drops them in a directory)
using sed,rar,unzip,mogrify

ill get a crack at it soon

Sorry, I meant setting the viewing size, not scaling the actual source files.
Each comic page is a scanned jpeg, usually at a resolution where you can
read the speech bubbles.

When you view it in the normal viewer, it assumes its a photo and shows you
the whole pic at once. To read the page I normally rotate it 90* (portrait)
and zoom in a few steps to read the text bubbles, scrolling around the frames.
But when I go to the next page (a new image), the viewer resets to the default
view again.
