Reader Usage

The reader displays the images from a comic book archive. They will be displayed either 1,2 or 3 at a time depending on the width of the browser. This is responsive so will change based on resizing the window.

Page Navigation

At the left and right of the window are some transparent navigation buttons so you can scroll the content left and right through the pages of the archive. You can also navigate pages using PGUP, PGDN, Left Arrow, Right Arrow or using the Mouse Wheel.

Thumbnail Navigation

You can get a thumbnail view of the pages in the archive just by moving the mouse into the lower section of the window. This toggles the display of thumbnails, so move the mouse up and out and they'll slide back out.

Clicking on one of the thumbnails will take you directly to that page in the reader.

You can slide the thumbnails to the left/right using the buttons on the edges of the screen.

Technical Details

The reader extract each page of the archive into a temporary folder within your systems temporary folder. The files from the archive are all extracted to the same directory, no structure of the archive is honored as all we require are the images.

These images are then added to the readers content in the order they appear in the file system.

When the reader is close the temporary folder is deleted.
