Wow! this has been thev longest duration without any updates. hope our pal deisama st9ll plans to improve this great program to perfection, making it faster, etc..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
yeah, 1.2 uses a different method of loading that doesn't work with the lense. Its a trade off, because the initial load is faster, but whenever you resize its a lot slower.

Plus with the newer method, I can preextract the next file without worrying about IO exceptions which helps diminish the speed difference.

What issues are you experiencing with 1.6?

Sounds like someones addicted :p

I've been really happy with 1.6. Technically, I'm running a beta 1.6.1 which minimizes the app when someone calls me, but otherwise I haven't really felt the need to add anything else to the program.

Plus things are starting to pick up at work, so I dont have a lot of time to work on it anymore.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bushrod:
AWESOME app!

One problem, though. If I close it and then delete the directory that the comics were in, then the next time I start it and try to open something, I get a "Directory not found" type of exception.

Thanks again!

Mmm... I started reading Manga after dowloading. Noticed that with Zips I have no probems. However with Rars I still get Sunexpected errors." I flashed my phone so I will test later to see if it was the ROM messing it up. Also another thing, a possible bug I found it that when I read a Manga -- so it gets saved-- but if delete the file with my file manager, when you go back, the bookmark is still there under RECENT and if you click on it the Soft crashes. Then after that it seems to crash more ofte on its own. Anyone else have encountered thesame issues?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dankybett:
Wow this app is brilliant! Thanks so much! I was able to read this weeks comics at work with ease. (Using the xperia x1).

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akaKJB:
I've started having a bit of a problem with the latest version. It was working fine on my HTC Mogul running Windows Mobile 6.1 and .NET 3.5 until it locked up in the middle of a comic I was reading. After restarting the program, it gave me an Uspecified Error message. I reset the device, made sure all programs that open on startup (like active sync & touch facade) were closed down and tried to restart 1.6 with the same result. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it to the device - same error. Then I reinstalled the program onto the storage card with the same results.

Great app! I hope there's a way to fix the problem as I had really gotten used to having access to it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
Alright, I release a new build that should hopefully fix all of these problems.

If its still breaking, please try to send screenshots of the crash so I can read the exception and stacktrace.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akaKJB:
Thanks for the tweaks! The program has so far stopped giving me fatal errors but there's another problem I've noticed - it won't display double page scans (such as pages 14 & 15 if there's a two page splash or sequence). It gives an "Unable to Display Image" error and usally starts going into memory failure screens after that. I'm also unable to get the program to open another file. It will navigate through the file I've got loaded just fine but it won't let me switch to another. I'll keep trying different things to see if I can correct the problem and let you know what happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shax:
First of all many thanks for this great app.

I've been using this for a while, even on my FS T830 on 240x240, now that i have Touch HD it's pure pleasure :)

Anyway, i would like to ask you if it's possible to change few things...

First, when looked in 480x800 resolution, bottom buttons are soooo tiny, i'm having problems to actually find it with the finger.

Another problem is if i miss "Next" i usually switch from fullscreen to normal view by mistake. And that's best case scenario, otherwise if i miss the next i also hit Call button. I don't have to tell you how frustrating can it be after reading one comic. Can you change buttons size to progressive instead of fixed? Also, if i click on bottom in fullscreen, my opinion is that nothing should happen, since there is "FS" button available for the same function.

Second, ideally it would be perfect if we could change pages by finger gestures.

For example, if i scroll page to the right, after it hits right margin if i do a gesture again it would be nice if the next page would be loaded (or previous to the left).

And third, when i read comics that have two pages scanned together (99% of my comics) when i hit bottom left i have to scroll to top right by finger each time. Is there any way it could actually "recognize" it hit the bottom left and when i hit "Next" it would simply go to top right. I don't think this should be a problem, since you already have a way of zoom panning in non FS mode. For this you would need a setting like "Two page scan" and then when you press "Next" it checks if it's zoomed on left or the right part of the image and acts on it.

I realize i'm asking A LOT. These i just my ideas, i think would make it even more fun experience. And don't get me wrong, i enjoy every second of every comic book i've read with this great app. So for everything you did, and you'll do THANK YOU :)

There seems to be a bug in Comic Reader Mobile v1.6.1. I installed this version last night and tried to use it and got the following--Error-An unexpected error has occurred in ComicReader.exe. Select quit and then restart this program or select details for more information.

File or assembly name 'Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status Version=1.0.0.0 Culture=neutral PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35' or one of it's dependencies was not found.

When I clicked details--

I've uninstalled and re-installed several times to no avail. Ipaq 2215 15 Mb free-over a gig free on the compact flash card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajbopp:
Yeah I get the same thing on my Vogue. I wonder if something went wrong during compilation?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agovinoveritas:
Thanks. Build do. By the way, sorry for my horrible grammar, I just read my own post and holy crap, it read like a 10 year old! :-) I was writing from a bus on the way to a club. Hehehe...

Anyway, 1.61 should fix, I will download shortly. By the way, for those who were wondering, if you had a problem with it crashing, even after reinstall, what you had to do was delete the ComicReg reg key under software on your registry. Then if you installed again, you would go back to "out of the box" status with the CR.

Anyway, will keep you posted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agovinoveritas:
Can you get a screen shot or quote part of the error?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajbopp:
It's identical to the error text posted by Ernie999 above.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
try this build and see if it fixes the problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ernie999:
Says it's exactly the same error. I might add that I had re-installed 1.6 and re-installed this one over it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
alright, give this a shot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ernie999:
This one seems to solve the problem--it installed and started up fine--only read a few pages but it all seems fine. Thanks a bunch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ojp:
Great App....may i know is there any sources to find more comic/manga for this great app ? I was trying to search around but unable to get the comic/manga i love the most such as romance of the 3 kingdoms and so on ...

any reco ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LeeJS:
Great app, you've really got me back in to my comic reading habit! Only problem is there are still a number of double width pages that won't display. I've tried the 1.6.1 release above and it still has the same issues. Sometimes a broken image will even stop working images from loading until the whole file is reloaded. Is there any chance I could drop a file with broken images somewhere for you to pick up to test? pm me if you're interested.

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
Unfortunately, it seems to be a limit of Windows Mobile. I don't know whats up with those images, but even something as simple as resaving them at the same resolution and compression appears to fix the problem.

Sorry I can't help more
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Frisk1025:
very good app!!

but I thank that MangaMeeyaCE is also a good choice.:D

my tytnii WM6.1 works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
Yet another comic reader I hadn't heard of! I wonder how many more there are out there...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
I could be wrong but I dont think MangaMeeya has been in development since the stone ages. Comic Reader Mobile updates are happening frequently.

I used to use Manga Meeya ported to windows to read on my desktop but now I use Hamana, which is like Manga Meeya on crack... also no longer in development though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Frisk1025:
you are right!

but i think MangaMeeya is much faster than Comic Reader Mobile at this time...

so~i am still waiting for ComicReaderMobile's Update...but i am using MangaMeeya now!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Yes, Manga Meeya is the fastest, hands down... on the desktop too. That kind of speed in a well organized stable app, like comic reader, would be too powerful if it fell into the wrong hands.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crashDebug:
i second this (same device :) and btw great work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jigmenyima:
Wow! been checking this space for ages but seems like this program s dead now. had hoped for further speed and other updates. well, guess all good things must come to an end. am very thankful to deisama for his brilliant work till the current version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Umm... it's been less than a month since the last release. Try to relax.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BenDick:
Just some suggestions

I'd like to see a preview window at the side when zoomed in, of the full window view (like in the default image viewer of WM).

I also like the idea of a drag-able sizable tool that will allow you to magnify selected dragged over areas. Like the magnifying glass in Photoshop.

These are two pretty nifty ideas for the program that would compliment the lens tool.

The reason that I say this, is I would like to scan my high school yearbooks for viewing on my phone. Its a great little tool for nostalgia!

Anyone else have the hankering to dig up their yearbook now?

The comic reader hasn't been updated much, I'm just throwing some ideas that might make things fun again. :)

Cheers

Take Into Account Directories

Thanks for the great program. I've been avoiding reading manga on my Tytn, but now can't wait to read the next one.

A feature I would like is to have directories taken into account. I have a zip file that has chapters broken up into directories. The directories are labeled correctly but the Comic Reader seems to sort purely by the file name and not taking into account the directory.

For example, the zip file contains the folders "ch01" and "ch02". Within "ch01" are files: pg1, pg2, pg3. Within "ch02" are files: 1pg, 2pg, 3pg. Comic Reader will show "1pg" first, instead of "pg1", even though you'd expect the files in "ch01" to come before those in "ch02".

Otherwise I would have to go through each zip and either zip up the individual directories into it's own zip or try to make sure each file in the directories are ordered relative to the other directories. Either way, it's still a bit of a pain.

Keep up the great work.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] character:
hows the developer? hope he is fine

havent heard about development of this great software for the longest time

just hope he is on a fine condition
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deisama:
I'm alive and well, just busy with real life :)

Hmm, thats wierd. I would have thought it did that already. I'll try to put a fix up for the next release. In the mean time, you can just extract the zip file and use the load option to pick the first image in each directory. And it'll work the same as if they were all zipped up into individual zips

Sounds like you have the non-phone version of windows Mobile. Theres a cab a couple pages back. Just download that, and it should work fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Leon1973:
Hi,

I'm totally new to all this & can't figure out how to get the program to run or install, or anything.

I have a Samsung Omnia & have installed Compact Framework 3.5, i downloaded the file unzipped it but don't have a clue what to do next, it doesn't install anywhere.

Please help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] albertorrent:
I can only thank you for this great software, I didn't know it existed and I used this one instead :

http://www.retrobits.net/ppc/ppc.shtml

the probleme is I had to convert all my comics to cbds and cbds format does not offer the possibility to have the original size image so it was allays to small.

Your software work a lot better and I can now use all my comic without to convert them

thanks again !!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] character:
Nice to hear that you are fine...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Heb 7:4:
Thanks for the app, enjoying it a lot! Like others though I'd love to be able to flick left or right to go to the next/previous page (no buttons on the Touch HD!)

Hi deisama

here is an idea in case you have time to loose to improve CRM :

I would very appreciate an intertia when moving an image

( like there is one in S2V for exemple :when you move the image, the image continue to move a little after touching the screen)

thats an idea,

thanks again for this work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] retrobits:
This is really a great program. The lense feature, auto sensing and zooming in on comic text is brilliant work.

It seems that in 1.6.1, that View->100% is mapped to Form.Minimize(). ToggleFit function works great, so I think its just a button to action mapping problem.

Hi!

I was really amazed by the quality of the pictures and I just want to say that this app is really really awesome!

I am really surprised by the quality of the pictures..I can't get over that :p

I would like to add one request though, swiping gestures for the Touch HD?

Seems like other people have this request too! Plus I think it would make it very intuitive.

It would be make this app perfect.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Slybaoth:
I have just discovered this program and it's amazing : great quality of pictures and very nice features to make easy reading on small screen. Autosize lense is very impressive !

But... yes, there is a but...

Something strange : if I enable dragging in controls, lense doesn't work in landscape fullscreen mode. If I disable dragging in controls, lense works in landscape fullscreen, but its autosize doesn't works both in landscape and portrait fullscreen mode.

I'm using it on a HP Ipaq 214.

Sorry if it's a know problem, I haven't read all the 27 pages of post...

You could pre-load the next page so there would be no wait between pages.

Besides that is a great application, thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] O_G:
Great App. Big Improvement over 1.4. which was the last version i used. Moved the full screen icon from top left (which often blocked text) to bottom centre on the on screen controls. This is a must when using Touch HD which has no D-Pad to control pages. The only down side to the on screen controls is the need to be accurate when hitting next page.

The lense feature is good if you have a device with a low resolution screen, but not really needed if your device has a good quality screen. I hope the ability to change the hardware button mappings comes in the next version. Great App!!!!!!!!:cool:

Tearing on the top right of diamond

This is the greatest app I have used to view comics and is built splendidly well, but i have had some minor problems.

I have noticed that when I drag down the screen in full screen mode, I see tearing on the top right corner of the screen, I have a touch diamond.

I am also having problems moving to the next comic by double tapping, maybe I am not fast enough but I tapped pretty hard and quick. Is anyone else having these problems.

I also think that it would be useful to have the option of a soft button on the bottom right corner to move to the next page in a given comic.

Lens problem

Hi, anybody knows how to enable lens? It worked fine, but since yesterday I have no lens - and don't know why. In the options it is enabled, but on-screen tap doesn't work - lens is not shown.

I've even tried to uninstall, soft-reset and then reinstall Comic Reader (v. 1.6).

I have ASUS P552w (WM6.1, QVGA).

Thanks for any suggestion.

Edit 2009-03-26: Problem persists even after uninstall of v. 1.6, soft-reset and installation of v. 1.6.1

Edit 2009-03-31: Problem solved - after setting zoom level to "Fit" lens reappeared and now works even in higher zoom levels.

Hi, is it just me, or has any one else had the problem of it crashing on double pages? it took me a while to realise why it was crashing, i had to compare it page by page with my pc to catch it.

you may add a free site to where you can download a .cbr file so that users will be inclined to have a CBR now it is not a freeware ( or can be a good comparison from using a freeware and a paid version)

more power to you

you should do this, the time taken to load the next image is not long, but to long when you have to wait.
