STARCHIE Total newb to e-comics.

Just downloaded my first .cbr file and am very pleased with this program. It follows the OSX look and is very simple/elegant.

I am hitting the LATER button for now, but will definitely donate if I use it more than a few times.

Kudos!

FET SimpleComics is the best cbr/cbz reader for OS X. It is fast and simple, but there is one thing I need to change: the Default page layaout is two pages and I want it to be just one. Everytime I open SimpleComics 1.6.1 it goes back to "two pages" (so i have tho press Cmd+P). Can I change it permanently?

Thanks,

ARAUCHFUSS To disable two page layout uncheck the the "Two page spread" in the general preferences.

Thank you.

FRODE How on earth do you actually view a comic? I see no instructions whatsoever, no way of typing in a website, no way of setting up your daily list of comics.

BJJFITER Agreed, it's not very intuitive. Having trouble myself.

ARAUCHFUSS I believe that there is a misunderstanding. This is not an application for aggregating web comics and then displaying them. Think of it instead as a very fancy and specialized version of preview.

NOREBIRTH Great App! It's the best Comic Viewer! Easy to use and the support is great!

Asking for 3 or 4 features and the answer came at the same day. The features in 2!

Perfect!

MASTER THERION Very good.

I see it's best

BOOLOO For me, the best application for reading comics.

And the updates are consistent.

Thanks to the developer.

JEFFNE SCHELIN Simply the best of its kind out there. Very fast and intuitive. I have been using this program for over six months now and it's getting better and better with each releases.

Thanks the developer for providing us with such a great software!

KIOSHI Almost perfect. Only thing missing is more keyboard shortcuts like in CDisplay for Windows.

GHERITT If you could e-mail me a list of the shortcuts and functionality that you think are missing I would be much obliged. I don't promise to add any of them but I will see if any are a good fit.

KIOSHI thanks for replying!

I am on Windows now, do you have access to it? I find CDisplay the perfect comic viewing experience, but I can tell you what I miss on SC when I get back to my mac if you can't run CDisplay ;)

GHERITT I don't have access to a PC right now and have never used CDDisplay. On top of that there seems to be very little online documentation. I will need your help.
(Version 1.3.1)

KIOSHI Oh forget my comparison.

There's no doc on CDisplay because it's not develope anymore.

Anyway the thing I like the most about CDisplay is the speed you can scroll with the arrows, and you've managed that.

And since I've discovered the 'hidden' shortcuts on SC (Space to move down, right/left arrows pressed for 1 sec to change the page) it's really as good as CD to view comics (on this topic of scrolling and all, because as a whole Simple Comic has many more features).

Thanks for this wonderful app!

GENERAL HONEYPOT I've just downloaded and tested a couple of comic book viewers and this one is currently the front runner. It's simple and unlike some other apps, (jomic), it's not a resource hog.

It loads the comics very fast and it lets you click through the different pages quickly too.
