It's confusing, but you need to put the app in two places to do two different things. Putting it in the applications/ folder makes it show up in the Applications tab. From there, launching it brings up a directory chooser that allows you to select folders with images in them. That's the way the program originally worked when written by the creator, Michail Polubisok. In that mode, it doesn't recognize CBR or CBZ files, since they aren't folders. For the second mode, you put the application into the system/bin directory, modify the system/config/extensions.cfg file, and then the Library tab becomes aware of the CBR and CBZ files and knows how to open them. I wish it was simpler to make it work, but I haven't thought of a way to make it so.

I've read here before that some people have difficulty finding some of these folders when connecting via USB from Windows, and that is because the system folder was automatically hidden by explorer (because of its name). You have to enable explorer to show hidden files to see them. It doesn't explain why the applications folder was hidden, though, unless that too is a "secret" name in explorer.
