Just press the menu button and then open. There you have a few icons and one of them is the bookshelf.
[Android Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
Have been using it for a few months and love this app! Particularly the bookshelf view.

Encounter one issue lately though - I have Gantz (a comics serie) in my SD card, but am missing the last two chapters in the bookshelf view; open by the explorer mode works though...

I added a few more chapters afterward, the previous 2 chapters which were missing shows up, but the last 2 chapters of the newly added ones are missing again. Strange.

One suggestion if I can bring it up - Can you add a function to manually crop cover page for each book/ chapter?
[Android Apps and Games] albokay:
Love this app and its one of the many reasons im going to purchase a tablet to have all my comics in digital form is much easier than carrying all the paper ones.

One thing id like to request is a file system within the bookshelf.

For example I have my comics folder on the SD card but if I create and place the rars in folders within that Comics folder like Batman, Ironman, Spiderman then only one comic would show up on the bookshelf for each series then when the comic is tapped the individual comics show up.

honeycomb control bar

note: I don't have a honeycomb tablet yet (but will get one soon), so I'm not sure if this problem is currently with perfect viewer on this platform or not.

anyway... does the control bar / task bar / system bar show when using perfect viewer on honeycomb? If so, I found an solution that the developer of perfect viewver might incorporate:

I have a suggestion. It would be nice if you could resize the bookshelf. It is too small for my liking right now and I would like each book to be bigger.

Also, it would be great if there could be a checkmark next to or on top of the book when it has been read so I know that it has been read. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] joehempel:
Both of these are excellent requests!!!

I LOVE this app! But I have a question...when I pinch zoom the page, it resets back to default on the next page....is there a way to keep it the same?? I know it's changing to a different file, but thought it would be cool to have so I don't have to keep re-sizing. if there is a way to do it, then I just haven't found it iyet.
[Android Apps and Games] tovarish:
Its a great app that I use everyday. The only thing I would love added would be auto-crop of white (say with a tolerance value) borders. Imagemagick libs could be used for this. It would make reading much better IMO.

thanks for the app.

I wish there was some way to mark comics as read. Sometimes it gets confusing wich comics you have already read.
[Android Apps and Games] RivakDebbie:
Seems to work in the latest version 1.7 :)

Again very nice comicviewer, but as suggested earlyer... would love to see an option to make the covers on the bookshelf bigger. They are quite small on my NC:)

I love this image viewer

But, i really miss something when i read comics, stretch image to display size

I do not care about the proportions, but yes about take advantage of every inch of the small screen of my ZTE Blade

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] SwedishGojira:
I would also like this feature, but it should be configurable so that it will only work up to a certain percent.

On my Asus Transformer I often have only a few pixels left on each side and would like to fill them since it won't distort the image too much. But I don't want it to stretch an image above a certain size just to fill the screen.

I hope you get what I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] kwankl:
request to have "Disable" option in "Change page gesture" under "Control & hardware key". I would like to use the click the screen for page turning. The fling to turn page is too easily triggered. If uncheck the "Enable fling gesture", the moving of picture (gestured) will stop immediately after my finger left the touch screen. Hope you understand. thanks.

Feature request: ability to set as default for pdfs

Hello, I love this app and I plan on using for viewing sheet music on my tablet. I have setup a webdav server full of sheet music, but everytime I select a file it gives me various apps to open with, but Perfect Viewer is not there. I believe this feature would save people a lot of time rather than download, then launch Perfect Viewer and then search for the file.

I'd gladly donate as well for this. ;) Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] andromeda1968:

there is an update for a "page book effect" ??? just like Ipad ? or Tab 7 :)

I have recently been using Perfect viewer with the PDF addon to read PDF-documents and after reading a few pages into the document I only get white pages.

If I quit Perfect viewer and reload the document it shows correctly again for a few pages and then the error returns.

Anyoen else that have experienced this?
[Android Apps and Games] nguyen2011:
Love the app. Wish developer can add Continuous Scroll Page feature. It feel more natural for non tablet screen, can't display whole page, instead have the page zoom in fit width, and continuously scroll down page through page. Please...........!!!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] sloopa:
Close to perfection

Thanks for this great app.

I use this viewer for my self scanned pages out of books. Works fine!

(Sometimes a little bit slow, but fast enough for me)

Perfect Viewer would be perfect for me, when it was possible to keep the zoomlevel when flipping to the next page. An option in the preferences to keep zoom level or not would be fantastic!

I hope this little wish could be possible :D

Thanks in advance ;)

I have some issue with this great app. I have a comic RAR archive with some file *.jpg inside. The right order is 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg, 4.jpg,..., 10.jpg, 11.jpg,...,100.jpg, 101.jpg. But the app it read 1.jpg, 10.jpg, 11.jpg, 100.jpg, 2.jpg, 20.jpg, 21.jpg, 3.jpg.....

"Droid Comic Reader" display with the right order but i love this app.

Sr English is not my main language, so it's hard to explain it. and my grammar is terrible.

:D
[Android Apps and Games] swishman:
does it download sources from internet ?
[Android Apps and Games] Joolian:
Can't read left to right

I downloaded Perfect Viewer for my Asus Transformer and love it except for one thing: I can't get it to read left to right. It will only read right to left, even though I've set the direction from left to right. Anytime I open a comic file, I have to tap the left edge of the screen to go to the next page.

Does anyone know why I am unable to change the direction? (Someone else asked this same question earlier in the thread, but I didn't see an answer.)

Thanks!

UPDATE: I checked the app again last night. No matter what I do, the "scroll forward" square stays on the left side of the screen, and the "scroll backward" square stays on the right side of the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] goattee:
It's clear what you are saying-- especially because you specified the filename sequence. So it sounds like what you need is a feature that when PV sees filenames that are completely numeric, PV should simply prefix the root of the filename with up to maybe ten "0" characters. And when the number is two digits, PV prefixes with one less "0".

So this would transform:

1.jpg => 0000000001.jpg

199.jpg => 0000000199.jpg

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 AM ----------

I would love to see PV add a way to filter only certain subsets of files.

I am subscribing to a digital magazine that has a crummy reader-- PV is far better. I have already set up all the gestures, navigation, etc. the way I live in PV.

But there is one problem: the publisher includes in each folder 3 duplicate versions of every page:

- Portrait

- Landscape

- Thumbnail

They use a consistent filename scheme. So I would love it if I could automatically filter for just the files for landscape or just for portrait. PV would need to implement one or two methods for the filtering:

- Regular expressions (but this is intimidating to nonprogrammers)

- A simple template of symbols (if anyone has ever used MP3Tag under Windows for music files, they may be familiar with this idea)

I separately emailed the developer with details about what I would be eager to see (and donate for).
[Android Apps and Games] Sergio Nova:
Just now I saw your post.

Well, fact is, you are supposed to choose if you want left-to-right or right-to-left when you install Perfect Viewer - that is, it is not interchangeable. That is not exactly a problem, but I agree it's weird.
[Android Apps and Games] fokasu:
keep zoom

hi, a functionnality that would be awesome is to keep the zoom when changing page. The software is great but I need to always zoom when i change page. (i'm reading a pdf file and the font size is small)

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] sciurius:
Grinding halt

The developer of Perfect Viewer hasn't participated here for a long time, but I hope he's still listening. I wouldn't know of another way to reach him...

Simply put: I love PV and I use it very often (daily) to read comics. For me it performs well and does everything I need. Unfortunately it has some problems as well.

When reading a comic from a CBR, PV sometimes starts slowing down after 20-30 pages. Instead of flipping to the next page it displays "Loading file" and then the next page appears after several seconds. The next page takes longer, and longer, up to the point that PV seems to be stuck, no matter how long I wait (many minutes) the next page doesn't appear.

When in this state I select the "Open file" menu, the menu is displayed but I cannot choose another file since whatever I do it immedeately starts loading the file it got stuck on.

The only way to get out of this is to select and load a book from the book shelf. After loading this book the "Open file" menu is functional again, although PV seems to FC after selecting a book. Upon restart it complains that it was terminated abnormally, refuses to continue loading the previous file, and everything works again.

As you can imagine, this takes the fun out of reading comics. Any suggestions to solve this are much appreciated.

Info: Archos 10.1IT G8 running UrukDroid 1.6.2; PV 1.7.2.2.
[Android Apps and Games] joehempel:
anyone happen to know if there is a "mark all read" type of selection?

I'm moving from ComicRack back to PerfectViewer, it's just faster and better for me. And I want to mark what I've already read in this as well.

The problem is I've got over 100 comics in one folder where 90 of them have been read, and I'd rather just mark them all read and not do them individually.
[Android Apps and Games] cobraplayer:
A +1 from me for this feature.

-

Second, please add the ability to name bookmarks.
[Android Apps and Games] SwedishGojira:
Love your app and use it pretty much daily.

I have recently found what appears to be a bug concerning the PDF addon.

It seems that PV won't list PDF files when browsing trough the LAN option. The same files show up in LOCAL browsing and CBR and CBZ show up in both without any problems.
[Android Apps and Games] sithmaster113:
Brilliantly done app with one thing I'd like to see supported.

First would it be possible to have images saved in sub folders be used as covers for those sub folders but be ignored for the purpose of viewing the image fullscreen? Something like this since that is a little confusing perhaps this mock list

Main Directory

SeriesName1

folder image (pretty much to help visually differentiate folders)

chapter one.zip

chapter two.zip

anything named "folder" or what have you is ignored when viewing contents of folders. Currently cover images are opened as full screen images instead of going into a archive list.

Anyway not sure if these requests are still being checked for new ideas but this is probably the best place to ask and offer my thanks.

edit-Well not sure what happened but while reading a zip archive perfect viewer decides to not go past a certain page. I check the file to see if maybe its corrupted but its not and now that last page is shown no matter which other archive I try to open with a "loading" message at the top. Nothing seems to fix this (deleting the zip archives, reinstalling either of the newest versions, or waiting to load) so I'll reset the tablet (acer a200) and see what happens. Honestly don't want to use any other viewer as this is simple and worked well but we will see.
[Android Apps and Games] fobboy:
Can someone explain all of the smooth filter options like averaging v2 or bilinear, etc? Which one provides the highest quality? Is there also an option to smooth the scrolling when you drag the screen? Right now it lags while you try to scroll through the page.

How to enable samba support?

Howdy,

I'm a new user and couldn't find any info on this on the net- the app says it supports SAMBA and network file sharing, where abouts do i access this feature? I'd love to have the comics stored on my computer and just network share them to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.

Hey there. I've been using PerfectViewer since the dawn of time and it has never failed me. I don't even consider using or trying other apps. Thank you very much.
[Android Apps and Games] steven.rn:
I'm having a heck of a time with PV on my Asus Tab- it used to work flawlessly over the network but no matter what I do it won't connect to my shared folders anymore.

ES file explorer works fine over the wireless to my tablet.

Installed PV on my Note 2 and it couldn't see the network either.

Installed "Challenger Viewer" from the play market and it asked "what kind of network"; I chose Samba, and it's reading all my files just fine. I'm reading comics with that on my tablet over the wireless from the files on my Desktop PC.

I'm stumped. It's just as if Perfect Viewer just lost a function it used to have... seems odd. I'm posting this here so if anyone else runs into this problem at least there is an alternative... I hope someone can figure out what the problem is even if I have to do a big time facepalm.

Cheers!

Blue tint on version 1.9.x

I had the same problem recently; I think is some bug in the last update. I recommend you to downgrade your installed version to 1.8.x or earlier.

You can get the APK from the author's website (I am a new user so I can't post direct links: his website is in the product page at Google Play)

I hope he would be able to solve the problem soon, is really a great application. :cool:

absolutely love this app, thank you! i also had the blue tint problem, but after i installed an older version, 1.8.0.1 i think, it works perfectly. i can't get it to open pdf files with pdf plugin installed though. i have tried pdf plugin v1.1.2 and v1.2, i ensured that perfect viewer wasn't running when i installed them and also rebooted the device, but i still always get "file not found" when i try to open a pdf, and pdf files are not shown inside perfect viewers file browser or added to the bookshelf. am i doing something wrong, do i need to install a different older version of perfect viewer?

edit: i managed to find a .apk of pdf plugin v1.0 which works for me. i have android 2.2 on my tablet. perhaps you could make v1.0 available for download on your own page again, for people with older versions of android?

Hello guys, I bought a Nexus 7 a few days ago, and since it only have 32Go of space, I connected it to my desktop PC. I am using perfect viewer since 2 years without a problem, it is an amazing app, if not the best.

I can read my comics on LAN, and I can scan my folder, although it is really slow. I mean I have to wait a few seconds before skipping to next page, and the scan of my collection takes forever. When i was on SD on my Note II, it took less than a minute, and skipping pages was always fluid and smooth.

Cannot remember last page

Recently Perfect viewer cannot remember the last page of a comic book I read. Every time when I finish reading it I'll see a circle in bookshelf which shows you how far have you come with reading. When you start reading again it should continue where you stopped last time, but now Perfect viewer always begins with front page of the comic book. And it doesn't mark comics as finished when I complete the comic book. I cannot find anything in settings relating to this. Maybe I just can't see right settings? If someone can help me I will be so grateful.

LAN not working for me

Hi,

I've got an SMB share on my Fritzbox and PV! cannot access it. Sharing folders from my desktop works fine.

PV! tries to access it (using a wrong pass "Cannot access folder" comes immediately. Using the right PW it loads a bit and then displays "cannot access folder").

I can access that share from other programs like ES File Explorer or Total Commander. It's just PV! that doesn't like it.

Anyone know what to do?
[Android Apps and Games] MxChris:
I love this app!

It would be nice to be able to have larger cover art. I didn't see anything in the settings to allow this, am I missing it?

If users could choose how many rows or columns their bookshelf had and then the cover art would automatically resize to fill the screen, I think that would be the most ideal way to go about it.

I use it all the time that's why I donated.
