Merry Christmas and that you for such a great program!
A few helpful hints for those running Windows XP 64bit: The part of the program that creates the properties doesn't have our OS in mind so it fails to find image magick, unrar handler, and rar handler. You need to add the C:\\Program Files (x86)\\xxxxx\\xxx by yourself for each of these. Make sure you spell everything perfectly!
Secondly: I had to copy my Java folder in "Program Files (x86)" to my "Program Files" folder or the program would fail when dealing with multiple folders. Easy to do but might be very very hard to figure out for those that know nothing of programming.

This program is the best that I have found so thanks! You asked for any suggestions so here are a few:

1: If it is easy to do, make the program work on XP 64bit out of the box.
2: Have the option of putting all the chapters into one big PDF document. I organize my manga in Manga_Name>VolXX>CXX. If I select the volume, I get a PDF for each chapter. It would be cool if I had the option to get one PDF of the entire volume as if I had bought the book.
Right now a program called pdfsam does a great job of combining the chapter pdfs so till this becomes a feature (or is it doesn't) than we have a solution.
3: Could the program look one folder deeper? I know you don't organize your manga like this; but if you had your folders some thing like One_Piece>Volume01>Ch001 than it would let you select the "One_Piece" folder as the parent_folder and you would end up with your choice of a PDF for each chapter, a PDF for each volume, or one giant PDF for the entire manga.

Thanks for the great work. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how easy or hard my suggestions are to implement but please consider them.

Thanks again and hope you had a great Xmass!
