MX 17 Repository: The YacReader Thread

#1 Post by Stevo »

We now have YACReader (Yet Another Comic Reader) 0.9.0.0 rc1 in the test repository. It also supports PDF and various bitmap files:

Code: Select all

...a wide variety of comic files and image types. rar, zip, cbr, cbz, tar, pdf, 7z and cb7, jpeg, gif, png, tiff and bmp.
Installing "yacreader", which is a Qt 5 app and should not bring in hardly any new dependencies besides libunarr, actually installs the reader itself plus a powerful YACReader Library app, both of which appear in the Graphics submenu. IMO, it lives up to its claim to be the best comic viewer, and it also gives the best PDF viewers a run for their money. Plus it has that eye candy coverflow animation!

Apparently the Windows version will use the same pdf rendering library as is embedded in Chromium, which is supposed to be several times faster, but nobody has built that library separately for Linux, so we are still using poppler.

The latest 9.5.0 release is now available in the main MX 17 repository. It now requires a newer Qt 5 than Jessie provides, so there are no MX 15/16 packages.

If anyone uses this, do you know a way to make smooth transitions between pages when using the mouse wheel?
Is there a setting I missed?

I missed this question...but not that I know of.

We now have the latest 9.6.2 release in the main repo. The changes between 9.5.0 and 9.6.2 can be viewed here.

Thanks for the response.
I waited a year for one lol.
Actually, after reading a couple Sherlock Holmes comics, I realized there was nothing else I wanted to read.

Now updated to 9.7.1 in the main repo, which will get rid of the "new version is available" nag. :happy:
* Image enlargement/stretching can now be disabled for fit
to width and height
* New option to show covers as single pages in double page mode (enabled by default)

### YACReaderLibrary
* update QsLog logger to version 2.1, snapshot 46b643d5bcbc
* fix object leaks in database code
* add bidirectional sync support

### YACReaderLibraryServer
* add support for port setting from the commandline
* update internal server code to QtWebApp 1.7.11
Parts of the debian/rules file and other packaging technical mumbo-jumbo were also streamlined by yrs truly.
