Comix

Comix is a comic book viewer. It reads zip, rar, tar, tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives (often called .cbz, .cbr and .cbt) as well as normal image files. It is written in Python and has a simple user interface using pyGTK.

Comix is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

What is new in this release:

• Applied a workaround for a bug that caused the "Open" dialog to crash when trying to open a file when the file type filter had been reset to blank. This bug seems to only appear on some systems, probably depending on the installed GTK+ version.
• Fixed a bug that caused the error message for unfulfilled dependencies to not be printed properly.
• The rar/unrar program is now invoked in such a way as to keep broken or incomplete files extracted from RAR archives, since Comix might be able to display parts of these files anyway.

What is new in version 4.0.3:

• This version includes new Hungarian and French translations, some new features and a few bug fixes.

What is new in version 4.0.2:

• This version contains updated Brazilian Portuguese, Traditional Chinese and Catalan translations.

What is new in version 4.0.1:

• Croatian translation updated by Adrian C.
• Polish translation updated by Darek Jakoniuk.
• Russian translation updated by Артем Смирнов.
• Simplified Chinese translation updated by Xie Yanbo.
• Re-added the "flip pages when scrolling off the page" preference from previous Comix versions. Thanks to Mamoru Tasaka.
• Added a portability module for handling home directories in a more portable way. Thanks to Oddegamra.

What is new in version 4.0.0:

• Comix has been completely rewritten from scratch. On the surface things look quite a bit like they used to, but the internal workings are entirely new. There are too many changes for them all to be mentioned here, but a couple of highlights are a much more functional library and a new archive editing dialog. The work on this new version of Comix has been going on in rather sporadic phases for almost two years, and during that time I have received help from lots of different people. Now, I must admit, I can no longer remember them all. So instead of trying to list as many as I can here, I will instead simply say thank you to everyone who have contributed fixes, patches, suggestions or encouraging words. Thanks!
