If you want to help out, you can create a bug on our Github page and start working on collecting the info that is needed to actually start the task. Write some basic import routines for the most important tagsĪdd logic to handle edge cases like multiple metadata files present and other stuffįinetune our import dialog to make all options availableĪs you can see this is a feature that isn't implemented quickly. Run tests to make sure it is working correctly Map foreign metadata to YACReader's metadata, decide what to do with edge casesĪquire a set of example files that are fully tagged in all metadata format and legal (not pirated!!!) comicsĪdd metadata detection to our library and comic routines Research the format specification for all metadata files we want to supportĬompare the available metadata entries with YACReader's available database entries If we want to implement metadata import, we roughly have this todo list:
Since this is requested regularly I'd like to point out a few things that can be done to speed things up a little. Silk, Fitzhugh, Iwatsu, Michiko Okubo, Neville Alcott, Ninjak, Senator Yusaku OkuboĬalifornia, England, Japan, London, Tokyo īob McLeod, Kathryn Bolinger, Mark MorettiĬrimson Dragon, Dr. Having said that, I think many would be happy with ComicRack and if it develops like I hope I'll be using it as my only comic browser and viewer as well.Hope And Glory - Part II: Bitter Beginnings (Linux has some good comic viewers that show thumbnails too.) I did find one method but it was a little messy.
#COMICRACK VS YACREADER WINDOWS#
If I can find an easy way to create thumbnails of my CBR and CBZ files in Windows Explorer I'll most likely stick with CDisplay.
#COMICRACK VS YACREADER FREE#
I can easily organize my comics in Windows Explorer and batch rename, if necessary, using the free app ExplorerXP. For now:Īs much as I love this program, I still prefer to read my comics with CDisplay.
#COMICRACK VS YACREADER UPDATE#
I have no idea how close any of these sites are for providing the ability to search and update each of your comics fields for even superior organization (and finding missing comics). In fact, I find CDisplay v1.8 to be essentially perfect.ĭesired features for ComicRack (found in CDisplay):ġ) tiny or no cursor when viewing the comicġ) "Open with" for right-clicking comic icon/thumbnail in folder view and viewing comic with another program (like CDisplay, though I can see why this option isn't there)Ģ) option to use Windows Explorer, especially direct integration with Vista for quick thumbnail generation and resize.ģ) Batch resize of entire collection (such as: all non-Jpgs to high quality Jpg and all pictures greater than 1400pixels in height reduced)Ĥ) Comic Book Database functionality (similar to MP3 tagging). However, despite being a great viewer as well it's missing 2 key features that I can't live without.
I really love the ability to view the cover (the first picture) as a thumbnail. Simply a must-have for those with a large comic collection. There's a growing demand for quality CBR/CBZ tools like these.Īwesome. Perhaps look for a Thumbnail plugin for Windows Explorer. Try ComicRack and periodically Google for a similar program to provide Database and Thumbnail creation features. rename/tagging of files that's really easy to use (possibly able to compare the cover JPG) Windows Explorer can display thumbnails (without building a separate index) Viewer with all the features of CDisplay (or option to open with CDisplay) I added a comic tool in Ubuntu which added thumbnails to the equivalent of Windows Explorer but I couldn't find a Linux equivalent of CDisplay and I couldn't get WINE+CDisplay to function properly.
I'm currently trying to find a good way to show thumbnails in Windows Explorer (thumbnail of the the 1st image). I still love CDisplay I doubt I'll replace it. I tried to add a folder but nothing showed up. I couldn't get the latest version (0.9.95) to work in Vista. The cluttered interface began to annoy me. I eventually quite using it entirely though I have hopes that it or another program will improve.
