Will LANraragi support galleries not in archive format?

[waz1500]

I've been looking for a reader for my content for quite some time and stumbled upon LANraragi. Which looks really promising!

Will LANraragi ever support galleries that are not in archive format such as .rar's and .zips and support native image types like .png and .jpg?

Essentially my collection is all unzipped, each has it's own folder and the images are either in .png or .jpg format.

• /Manga Collection
• Manga 1
  • ...image 01.png
  • ...image 02.png
  • ...image 03.png
• Manga 2
  • ...image 01.png
  • ...image 02.png
    and so on...

Thanks for any info!

Well, no. Thanks for the interest, though! 😅
Supporting only archives is a design choice I'm never going back on, as I prefer having my manga organized in single files. It's the initial reason I built the software instead of just using one of the existing alternatives at the time, too.

It's technically possible to rewrite the parsing code to treat subfolders as manga(removing the existing feature that allows to get archives in subfolders of the content folder), therefore skipping the unzipping part when reading them.
I'm pretty sure someone could hack up the existing code to make this possible, but I won't.

I'd personally recommend zipping your stuff up anyways, as it makes for far less painful waiting times when you're copying/moving files.
