This is a viewer for web comics.

---

Notice

The application is currently in beta stage. There are some functions missing and not everything may work as expected.

---

Requirements

For running the program at least Java 1.6 must be installed. Java 1.7 works too.
This is a pure Java application, there are no extra requirements. All needed libraries (including JRuby) are included.

---

Installing

There is no installer. Just download and extract the ZIP package in a directory of your choosing.

---

Running

Start ComicViewerApp.cmd on Windows or ComicViewerApp.sh on Linux. The launcher script will set some parameters to configure Java and JRuby and redirects debug output to a log file in the same directory.

You can also start the jar directly, but you may experience some Java OutOfMemoryErrors if the maximum heap size is below 300Mb.

Options

--help
Show help.

--recover
Recover a damaged cache database. A new database with the recovered content will be created in the directory where the cache database is located.

--clean-cache
Remove all unused pages/images from cache database.

Generated Files

The program uses one file to store general settings and two databases to store comic information and cached web pages/images.

It is safe to delete the the cache database, if the program is not running. The cache database will be reconstructed as needed.
