Jomic is a nice and free viewer for comic book archives.
Jomic can handle both CBZ and CBR archives and has a two page mode. Supported image formats are JFIF/JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF. Jomic is Open Source software distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Here are some key features of "Jomic":
· Fixed NoClassDefFoundError in launcher scripts if installation path contained blanks (as in "C:Program Files") [Bug 1537824].
· Fixed overlap of two images when reading from left to right in full-screen [Bug 1594668].
· Fixed keyboard handling in full-screen mode. (Note: Java keyboard handling is a nightmare. Java full-screen mode is a nightmare. Together, they are almost unbearable. After lots of sweat and tears I`m now reasonably convinced that assigning a KeyListener to the full-sscreen frame directly is pretty much on the only way to make it work. With no other JComponent in the frame needed and no InputMap ever touched.) [Part of Bug 1445957].
· Fixed occasional empty screen when switching to full-screen. The reason was that Swing`s repaint events were disabled too late, so that after initially drawing the image a repaint was sent. Because the full-screen paint() does nothing, it just cleared the screen.
· Fixed AssertionError when attempting to open next/previous comic while in full-screen and already at last/first issue.
· Fixed error message if full-screen could not be opened due incapable device.
· Changed image rendering to use bilinear interpolation instead of the platforms default. This increases the quality of rescaled images, in particular under Windows XP.
· Added check box "Open in full screen" to "Open comic" dialog.
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
Application:
· Fixed excessive CPU usage if an image could not be read due to certain error conditions.
· Fixed spurious broken images if a comic ZIP was created using Mac OS X`s compress in Finder. For every image like some.png, compress adds a file __MACOSX/.some.png containing the resource fork [Bug 3285681].
· Fixed help menu under Mac OS X, which automatically got a search bar that never found anything and disabled all other help menu entries.
· Fixed size and location of dialog to set blur options. If the dialog now has a sensible size when opened for the first time and remembers its size and location between application launches.
· Fixed missing images for web start.
· Changed comic conversion to continue with next comic in case one comic fails.
· Added possibility to open and convert more PDF comics than before by upgrading to PDFBox 1.5.
· Changed memory available for Java from 256 MB to 768 MB in order to cope with PDFBox`s increased memory requirements when reading complex PDF documents.
