another image, cbr and cbz viewer - Page 4

tovarish · 11-12-2009, 08:53 AM

ok got that and now a development environment is up and running. iViewer compiles now and I am ready to work on it.

tovarish · 11-12-2009, 11:06 AM

Ok so my plan is this.

Program in the code to split a double page into two halves and show them.
Have two new icons in the toolbar.
1. First to toggle between current behaviour and splitting double pages into two pages.
2. Second to toggle between normal (left to right) and manga (right to left) modes.

Lets see when I can get this done. Any help pointers to do this will be welcome. I was thinking that the way i will implement (1) is resample the image to fit 1536x1024 and show only one half instead of the whole.

For step 1, now iViewer resamples de lanscapes image and rotate them 90º, in that point you can implend you behavor. just resample the image. This code is in iViewerModel, getPage(int page).

I hope that this weekend I could try to put a button and call a callback function.

I tried to box all the toolbar behaivor in two classes IliadToolbar and ToolbarEvenHandler. The goal was that you could create a toolbar just creating a new IliadToolbar, adding buttons (addIcon function) and adding callbacks for every button, but that was never implemented (exists a onReceiveToolbarMsg function but all the code is commented).

Hi, Max

I found
GrPixbuf *aux = pbImage->rotateSimple(); in GrPixbuf *iViewerModel::getPage(int page)
The problem is that getPage(int page) should return one page but i would like it to return 2 pages (split). I am trying to figure out how to implement this.
What I am thinking is maybe instead of returning a GrPixBuf* it should return GrPixBuf** (or vector<GrPixBuf>) so that incase there are two images returned for 1 page then something different can be done.

I think it is a good idea if you can work on having a toolbar for future use.

You can hide scrollbar of GtkScrolledWindow by calling gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy() with GtkPolicyType set to GTK_POLICY_NEVER.

Hi there. I've been lurking around these forums for a good while now but decided to post about this little thing. (Yes it's a little bump but it might turn out to be useful to someone.)

As has already been pointed out, the sorting in zip files isn't implemented. I put up with this for a good while because most of the archives I use had the files added in the right order which makes sorting unnecessary. However, recently I've been running into more and more unsorted archives and it started to get on my nerves. I decided to make a change in the code and recompile it.

The only change I've made is added the line

Code:

imagenes->sort();

at the end of the constructor in ImageZIP.cpp (line 103). Compiling this works perfectly and I no longer have to be frustrated because the archives I use were compressed the wrong way.

You don't need to uninstall the entire application and install the new version, you can simply overwrite the file iViewer in the Programs folder on whichever medium you installed it on (in my case the internal memory). Because this little change requires quite some effort I've decided to put up the new file on my website. Fetch it here.

Thanks for this great application, and I hope this change can be of some use.

Hi , thanks for the great software for comic lovers

.

I write a software for the conversion of the image from every kind of png jpg etc etc to BW , 1024*768 dimension , dpi crop and cbz creation . I tested with your software and the files generated works great . If someone is intrested you can find it http://www.mmsoft.info , freeware of course .

I have a new version of iViewer which uses ImageMagick to auto crop images.
The disadvantages are
1. It needs a lot of memory so I have to enable swap (128M) before I start iViewer and disable it afterwards.
2. Page turning is a bit slower.

The advantage is that comics scanned with white spaces around them are cropped out giving better readability.

If anyone wants to try this experimental copy I could upload it here.

I got an ILiad yesterday - for comics & mangas (...okay for books, too)
So first thing to do - get the iViewer. Sounds so great! (The JE-Comics programm for creating pdfs out of cbr is just to slow..)

But somehow it's not working. It loads the .cbr, resulting in endless blinking green LED and a white page numbered ("1", no more pages to flip to).
...ideas?

I tried several cbrs - the results is allways the same. I will try CBZ later, the iliad is out of full at the moment.

fw2.12, installed iviewer on the CF.

THX!

fast reply, wow.
all jpg - no cbr works (no matter if 4mb or 40, folders inside or not and so on).
but:
I renamed them to cbz, until now every cbz works like a dream. thx so much for that great prog! fast, fullscreen, easy. just BÄMM!

i know you want to know why cbr doesn't work (although my problem is solved). I'll try to find clues.

You renamend to cbz

cbz are simple zip files and cbr are rar files. iViewer use a zip decompresor for cbz and a rar decompresor for cbr. Could be that your file was a zip renamed to cbr?

I
hm.. didn't know that. Maybe the ones I tried have been zips I renamed wrong. On PC no problem, CDisplay reads them even if they are named wrong. I'll check out, thx

Max · 06-06-2010, 05:25 PM

Anyway, I'm glad you finally could read your comics.

I can, it was my fault - now cbr and cbz are working!
btw: is there a way to make the reader open zips/rars?
