The "Add" buttons in the bottom right corner lack night mode and tooltips.

I really like the fact that this has a horizontal margin.

My question is it possible for Horizontal margin to be different for double pages.

Like i want the single pages to have 200px horizontal margin but double pages should fit to width

I have had some trouble finding out how to turn pages with mouse click. (Good idea, though.) So I thought it would be a smart extra to create a few pages long tutorial explaining the available functions, and ship it like Pepper & Carrot. Either taking screenshots and adding the explanation in speech bubbles, or drawing a real comics with illustrative frames.

What do you think?

The next volume link at, or after the end of the page as a hover, is convenient when you read series of comics (Say volume1, volume2 ...)

The series of comics usually have the same prefix, say "Comic. Foobar vol1", "Comic Foobar vol2". So if the same comic name prefix is detected in registered folders or files in OpenComic, a link to the next volume is displayed, maybe hover the link on the last page or a blank page after the last page with the link.

Hi! First of all, I'd like to thank the creator of this reader; I've used practicly all the comic readers that are out there and the only one that worked for me prevously was CDisplay. The problem? Their interface sucks. So by mere coincidance I found OpenComic and I've got to say it has absolutly everything I've been looking for in a manga reader for ages. So thank you very much for your work!

Here are somethins that need a little fixing though:

• When bookmarking in inverted reading mode, it saves the mirrored page in the list instead. Bookmarking the page 3/100 gets the bookmark in page 97/100 instead. The bookmark symbol keeps working in the original page, but opening the bookmarks lists shows the wrong page in the chapter.

• Also, when bookmarking a page in a comic and the moving (or deleting) the original source, the bookmark stays even though it does nothing, and I can't manually delete that bookmark either. The same happens with the "continue reading" link when opening the main folder and the chapter is not there. I'd say it's better for it to not show at all in those cases.

• Just as an improvement: I'd like to set permanently the interface zoom, it resets everytime that I open the app and it's somewhat annoying.

• Having access to a reading history would help a lot as well, I usually jump a lot between comics when reading. It's the only feature that I miss from CDisplay.

Really great job with the program and have a nice christmas holidays!

add next/previous chapter button, and maybe it will be triggered when you try to scroll and hit the bottom

It would be nice to have an option for leaving the first page blank when using double pages. This way the title (or cover page) would be a single page, and the following double page spreads would be correctly sorted like in the real book (left and right page order).
Great software with potential by the way, thanks!

change the year? or is it intentional?

I have a ideia to create a program in electronjs, but i need your help, i don't know how to use javascript but a i have a good ideia, if you want to know more, please contact me here or on my email

Hello,

I liked your work, but after trying to install your project on a arm64 virtual instance, I realized it doesn't seems to support armf or arm64 architectures.

It could be great tho, this kind of project could fit perfectly on a mini-machine, a raspberrypi or a arm64 virtual instance.

Do you have any plans supporting theses plateforms ?

Honestly title says it all, can a vertical reader (so pages with small gaps in between in the reader, and you can scroll through the entire chapter/volume at a go if not through consecutive chapters) and/or webtoon (so no gap between the images and it's one big blob) be implemented for this reader?

Is there a way to remove the top bar and/or side bar in full screen mode? I can hide them using DOM inspector, but the space is not reclaimed by the comic.

I read that there are shortcuts, however, I can't seem to intuit them.

The dark theme needs a bit more contrast on highlights and separators.

The current behavior when opening a file is showing a thumbnails of the file in a normal window, I'd like to be able to configure this behavior
#When opening a file start in
1- Thumbnails \ The first page(reading)
2- Fullscreen mode [On\Off]

Option to centre first image of a chapter when turning on blank page in "Double page“ mode.

To maximise reading space it would be nice to be able to hide the left content panel (page thumbnails), e.g. in full screen, or in general. Thanks!

You can use this code:

{
  label: "Fullscreen",
  accelerator: "F11",
  click: function() {
    win.setMenuBarVisibility(win.isFullScreen());
    win.setFullScreen(!win.isFullScreen());
  }
}

I noticed while reading a manga that some chapters would not show anything in the reader area while the preview on the left would.

After a few of them I realized that the chapters that wouldn't show all had question mark in the name and that renaming them would fix the issue

Please, add the Night mode button to the home/directory pages as well.

Right now you have to repeatedly hit up/down button. Holding them does nothing.
Plus when you open a chapter you have to click on the image to even enable any scrolling with keyboard at all (you have to focus into the window).

Also if possible not only adding a continuous scroll on holding keys bot also smooth scrolling with large jumps, like on windows in chrome (when you enable smooth scrolling in chrome).

This is all on 2.0.0 on macOS.

Please, make it thicker.

The images are contained within a subfolder within the zip, if this helps diagnose. This is very common for comics. Pics attached.

Almost all my zipped comics are like this, but the behavior in the app is inconsistent. After I open the zip, I do get the preview image, but it's very small as you can see.

I think the issue might have to do with the size of the first .jpg or .png in the folder, or its total size. It seems to be that any zip file over 50MB won't preview.

When using the double page view with odd number pages, the placeholder at the end should be transparent, or at least opaque. It's especially disturbing, when the dark theme is enabled.

Hi, just want to report bug with snap version of opencomic on ubuntu 20.04 64-bit

$ snap install opencomic
$ opencomic
/snap/opencomic/5/app/opencomic: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
# searched the libgdk on https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0&mode=exactfilename&suite=eoan&arch=any

1. Add a manga folder in the Library
2. The manga opens easily in the reader
3. Leave the manga there for a month or two
4. Open Comic starts showing a message that the file is no longer compatible even though it worked previously
   

Solution?
Could be a cache problem or there is some sort of timer that automatically disables accessing the manga after a month or more period.

Hello, i try to open a cbr file on mac and i have an error with de unrar command in the /bin/sh folder.

Command failed: unrar vt -v "/Users/*/*.cbr"
/bin/sh: unrar: command not found

So the first time i install unrar with brew, and continu to not work. I try the command in terminal and it work.

If the filename contains single quotes ('), OpenComic stops at the image list and can't open the reading page.

• 'test.zip

This isn't a huge issue, but the way that Opencomic tries to associate itself with every file it can open is a bit inconvenient. Most of my .zip files aren't comic related and having to reset that across multiple formats seems like an unnecessary step.

This is on v. 2.0.0 on macOS.

No problem opening it in other apps like Simple Comic.

As an optional and IMHO more comfortable way to turn pages could be to click on the left and right side of the reading area to jump to the previous and next pages. Optionally, you can create floating buttons.

The sliders on the Pages and Zoom dialogs have white background when dark theme is enabled.

It is redundant, and one can open an other About window, and so on.

Using Electron Frameless Windows you could hide the unnecessary title bar on Windows and other OSes that clashes with app's style and takes up space on screen.

Some comic pages that are made to be put next to each other doesn't pair properly as shown below.

Olá,

eu estava tentando rodar o Open Comic a partir do repositório do git, realizei os seguintes passos:

• git clone https://github.com/ollm/OpenComic.git
• npm install --only = dev
• npm start
  Na parte do npm start deram alguns erros de módulos que estavam faltando e eu os instalei manualmente. tentei dar um npm start novamente, mas ocorreu o seguinte erro que não consigo resolver:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: win.removeMenu is not a function
at createWindow (/home/leirton/OpenComic/scripts/main.js:49:6)
at App.app.on (/home/leirton/OpenComic/scripts/main.js:104:2)
at emitTwo (events.js:111:20)
at App.emit (events.js:191:7)
Como faço para solucionar esse erro?

Can you implement a tool to zoom in/out individual pages? The magnifier is a nice feature to tinker with as a coder, but it's quite troublesome for the users.

The RMB + wheel combination could be used to zoom in/out, or you could create a slider.

Hi. I'm using OpenComic v0.1.1 on Ubuntu 19.04 and the application can't seem to be able to open .cbr files. I tried it with two .cbr files and it failed to open both of them, with one being added but unable to open (and it has no preview), and the other not even showing up in OpenComic.

I got this error in DevTools:

Is possible a AppImage version?

Rather than using the scrollbar drag to scroll feature would be much more comfortable, once you get used to it u can't imagine looking back.

Hi thanks for this good project

i try to integrate it as a qpkg for Qnap NAS HDStation
which is an ubuntu1804 LXC container

on first try.. opencomic binary refuse to start
i had to force it with the flag --no-sandbox all run as root, no others user possible

./opencomic --no-sandbox

in this mode it start and opens, but what ever i do in menu... stdout showup this error, and nothin happen

Attempting to call a function in a renderer window that has been closed or released.
Function provided here: undefined

any idea ?

Using debtap I generated (without extra input) the archlinux package and installed and tested it:

debtap -Q opencomic_0.1.5_amd64.deb 
pacman -U opencomic-0.1.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Could you add this info to the install list? Or even better, could you add an Archlinux package ( to the AUR)?

What about a Mac Release?

The page combination for a spread page is off by one page due to the cover page is included. It'd be cool if a reader can omit the cover page so that a reader can read with proper spread page combination.

When I try to use continue reading, it sometimes does not save where I'm at.

Allow putting next notes on the page

I'm a language learning and this would extremely helpful, this is the best comic reader I've ever tried and this would make the program insanely good. I understand this idea will be rejected, it is a comic reader after all

Allow picking your own thumbnail for a folder

This would make sure most of the folders I have aren't blank.

This is a brilliant program, keep it up 👍!
