ComicRack 0.9.80  beta

Publisher's Description:

ComicRack is an all in one solution to read your eComics and also manage your library. You can think of it as a kind of ITunes for eComics with lots of the same functionality. As a reader it supports all the state of the art features you can expect: different display modes, full screen, information overlays, magnifier, color adjustments, automatic backcolor matching and a multi tab interface to quickly switch between eComics. As a manager you can browse and search your eComics in the library, create folders and lists to organize them. You can customize the lists to show just the information you need and use advanced tools to tag and edit the information for your eComics. Or create Smart lists to display dynamic lists based on eComic info (never read, author, series etc.)

Awesome. Simply a must-have for those with a large comic collection. I really love the ability to view the cover (the first picture) as a thumbnail. However, despite being a great viewer as well it's missing 2 key features that I can't live without. In fact, I find CDisplay v1.8 to be essentially perfect. Desired features for ComicRack (found in CDisplay): 1) tiny or no cursor when viewing the comic 2) choose custom height Other desired features: 1) "Open with" for right-clicking comic icon/thumbnail in folder view and viewing comic with another program (like CDisplay, though I can see why this option isn't there) 2) option to use Windows Explorer, especially direct integration with Vista for quick thumbnail generation and resize. 3) Batch resize of entire collection (such as: all non-Jpgs to high quality Jpg and all pictures greater than 1400pixels in height reduced) 4) Comic Book Database functionality (similar to MP3 tagging). I have no idea how close any of these sites are for providing the ability to search and update each of your comics fields for even superior organization (and finding missing comics). For now: http://www.comicbookdb.com/ http://www.comics-db.com/ http://www.cbdb.com/ http://www.comics.org/index.lasso Summary: As much as I love this program, I still prefer to read my comics with CDisplay. I can easily organize my comics in Windows Explorer and batch rename, if necessary, using the free app ExplorerXP. If I can find an easy way to create thumbnails of my CBR and CBZ files in Windows Explorer I'll most likely stick with CDisplay. I did find one method but it was a little messy. (Linux has some good comic viewers that show thumbnails too.) Having said that, I think many would be happy with ComicRack and if it develops like I hope I'll be using it as my only comic browser and viewer as well.
