The status bar was completely changed in firmware version 5. In version 4 and before, the page number, image file name, and various other bits of information were shown in the status bar. That all went away in version 5, and I can't figure out how to display any of that information. That's my biggest complaint about the new firmwares (followed by the removal of the "Open with..." menu item). I'll think about popping up the status bar when you tap, but it's complicated by the fact that the status bar is at the bottom in older firmware versions, and at the top in newer versions. It will have to wait, though, because I'm too busy with work now to do any coding on this application.
I like your idea about adding the cover images. I know at least one other person here who wished they could see cover images for their manga. I hope you go ahead with your project and distribute it when it's done.
As for the XML metadata, is their a standard for it, and is it part of other CBZ/CBR files already?
