• Zoom buttons. I shouldn't have to use the menu bar or memorize shortcuts.
• DOCUMENTATION. Please. I have no idea how to add comics.
• Better interface for adding comics. The current one isn't bad, but the field names are confusing (tooltips maybe). Also, the program should be able to find a list of comics from the preloaded websites rather than having me type it in.
• A better color scheme interface and preference saving.
• The menu bar items disappears when the preferences window opens.
• Less hidden way to mark comics as unread. A button would work best.
• Automatic installation of summary files (see developer site for Calvin and Hobbes and Dilbert files). I think that Bound and Gagged should have a similar feature (text is searchable from their website. I don't know if this can be implemented in the same way).
• Scroll whell support for continuous mode.
• The ability to sort by date instead of comic, so I would see, for example, all of Yesterday's comics, then all of Today's comics instead of Yesterday then Today for Comic A, Yesterday then Today for Comic B, etc.
• King Features support. Or are those strips available through the other websites?
As far as the current program goes, I particularly like these features:
• Archiving with logical image saving in the Finder.
• The reflection is cool.
• I like the way that you can move the comic when you are zoomed in.
• Built-in comics and comic websites.
• The general interface. It makes reading comics one-by-one very nice.
I have one question. When it checks for updates, it says that new comic parameters are available. It click Download and it says that there are no updates. What does this mean? It doesn't seem to work (it does the same thing every time I check).

Here's what I want to know how to do. How do you tell it to set the holidays? For example, I want everything before 2006-12-01 to have the holidays SA and SU, but everything after that to have TU TH SA and SU as the holidays.
":2006-11-30 sa su, 2006-12-01: tu th sa su"
some other examples:
"" -> no holiday
"su sa" -> all sundays and saturdays are holidays
"2005-02-01" -> the first february 2005 is holiday.
"2005-02-01:" -> each day since first february 2005 (including) is a holiday
":2005-02-01" -> each day before first february 2005 (including) is a holiday
"2001-01-01:2005-12-31" -> each day in this range (including borders) is a holiday
"2001-01-01:2005-12-31 sa su" -> each day in this range which is a sunday or saturday is a holiday
"2001-02-01, sa su" -> the first february 2001 and each saturday and each sunday are holidays.
