DESCRIPTION
Jomic is a viewer for comic books stored in CBZ, CBR, and PDF files. Features include a two page mode, full-screen, caching and support for several image formats (PNG, JFIF/JPEG, TIFF, and GIF). It is Open Source software distributed under the GNU General Public License.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.9.30: This release improves image rendering and automatically opens
the next comic when trying to navigate past the last page.
Changes:
Application
- Fixed and improved image rendering:
- Fixed error: Problem occurs when computing a tile by the owner
[Bug 1827855].
- Fixed rendering of black and white images [Bug 1456026].
- Fixed various rendering issues in windowed mode by getting rid of the
deprecated and buggy DisplayJAI and using code similar to full screen
mode.
- Fixed resource leaks related to image drawing (Developer note: missing
Graphics.dispose()).
- Improved performance of displaying certain JFIF/JPEG images that until
now occupied the CPU for several seconds. (Developer note: This was
caused by Graphics2D.drawRenderedImage() being awfully slow with a
scale transformation and render settings using
VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR and has been fixed by internally enforcing
all images to be 32-bit RBG without alpha channel.)
- Fixed "Can't find resource for bundle" error when attempting to warn that a
web page could not be opened [Bug 1886584].
- Changed space bar and mouse navigation to automatically open previous/next
comic when reaching the beginning/end of comic. Page up/down still behave
the old way and can be used to navigate without possible files being opened.
- Added rotation set with View Rotate right and View Rotate left to be
preserved over sessions.
- Added http://jomic.sourceforge.net/PAD_FILE.XML to make it simple for
automatic tools and interested web sites to check for updates of Jomic.
- Updated Quaqua to version 4.4.1.
Documentation
- Added frequently asked question "Why are some images of a comic displayed
in wrong order?"
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

QUIROP-PA Una aplicación sencilla y eficaz. Tal vez las haya mejores, pero con esta no necesito comprobarlo. Gracias!

SPRINGHEELMAC Works well. One question: when Jomic extracts the comic, where does it extract it too? Can the directory be selected? I noticed a considerable amount of space after extracting a comic, but could not locate it, although it was viewable just fine.

ROSKAKORI By default, the cache is in ~/Library/Caches/jomic and grows up to 256 MB. You can change that by adding for example the following lines to ~/Library/Preferences/jomic.properties: cacheDir=/Volumes/SomeOldDrive/Caches/jomic archiveCacheSizeInMb=4096 It's not documented in the manual, but it's been like that for ages and I don't have any intention to change it. Maybe someday there will be a GUI for the cache settings.

RMOLENDA A great application for the job. Simply put, you can't beat the price, and the developer continues to improve it.

ANONYMOUS Jomic is a great program! Wonderful app. The only problem I've had is when I started it for the first time, I got an error message that just said "null," and the program quit. After trying to start it several times with the same problem, I dragged a .zip file to the icon, and it has worked perfectly since.

ANONYMOUS the only problem I'm still having with jomic is that maybe 50% of the time when I open a archive (I don't know if it happens more with either type) it will not just open it and instead will prompt me for which file I want to open. Sort of annoying to have to navigate through the directories to get to a file I just opened. Otherwise it's all good!

ROSKAKORI Version 0.9.10 was just released. Among other things, opening a comic from the Finder should now work reliably.

ANAD This works great for me. I like it much better then FFView or Comical. Appears faster and I have less problems with cbr and cbz files. Great work.

ROSKAKORI As pointed out in the forum, it seems that the JAI installation fails on Mac OS X 10.3.8 (though it still claims it was successful). To work around that, there is a release with all JAI related stuff already included. You can download it from .

ANONYMOUS Several people reported that they cannot get JAI to work with Mac OS 10.3.8, and thus Jomic won't work. See the related discussion in the forum for details.

ADAM I want to use this program but I can't get it to run. I get the same message about Java Advanced Imaging not being installed. JAI is definitely installed on my machine.
