Details and instructions are here.

ComicRack 0.9.169 released

cYo — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:53:00 +0000

The next version of ComicRack for Android has a new way of detecting ComicRack for Windows in a WiFi network (and not only the other way round - like it is currently). This release implements the Windows side of this new feature.

ComicRack 0.9.168 released

cYo — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 19:43:00 +0000

This is a maintenance release that fixes the inability to pair with wireless devices on Windows XP. I added some additional fixes and small changes you can find as usual in the file description.

0.9.167 Torrent Download Fixed

cYo — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:25:00 +0000

I just learned that the Torrent for 0.9.167 was just visible for me.

I fixed that now.
I uploaded the torrent again and fixed the link in the last post.

ComicRack 0.9.166-167 released

cYo — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:23:00 +0000

Update: .167 fixes an issue in the Smartlist Editor introduced in .166

This is a mix of maintenance and new features.

First it fixes a big and ugly bug introduced with 0.9.164 regarding thumbnail updates. One of the visible effects in ComicRack was that pages/thumbnails where not updated/displayed correctly. You should update to this version.

I also did some rewrite of the Matcher Selector in the Smart List Dialog. With now over 90 possible Matchers the old Drop Down Box was just not doing it any longer.

Finally, as Microsoft in it's wisdom removed the OS Touch Flick support from Windows 8 (Windows 7 translates these gestures automatically into Page Up/Down), I've now implemented Flick Left/Right support for the Reader myself. Please note, that the Flick gestures are only active when the whole page is visible.

ComicRack 0.9.164-165 released

cYo — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 11:14:00 +0000

This is quite a big release.

As I rewrote lots of low level stuff I would not be surprised if some bugs are still lurking in it. If you've problems you can always step back to the previous version (but not before submitting the problem and posting in the bugs section of the user forum :))

Big features in this release are Custom User Values with full support in the browser, dialogs and script API and support for moving your ComicDb on a shared SQL server.

Additionally I added another CBR/CBZ/CB7 engine that can be selected with new settings in ComicRack.ini.

UPDATE: I uploaded 0.9.165 that fixes two bugs.

Following is a visualization of me working on ComicRack for Windows in the last 5 years. It basically shows all the edits and additions to the ComicRack source code. And yes the little marathon man in the middle is me :)

These donations will help keep the little green man running in the coming years :)

ComicRack 0.9.163 released

cYo — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 18:39:00 +0000

This is a bug fix and maintenance release.

For the full list of changes, see the change log. To comment about this version just head over to the User Forum.

As always, please try to use the Torrent download to save resources on this server.

Language Packs

cYo — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 21:39:00 +0000

ComicRack comes with a lot of language packs out of the box. But as ComicRack is a rather fast evolving application, some of these packs are a bit out of date right now.

If you think you can help update them or create a new one, read this and head over to the language pack section in the user forum.

Thanks to all the people who have invested their time making these packs and maybe some new ones helping to bring them up to date.

ComicRack 0.9.162 released

cYo — Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:15:00 +0000

Again, a maintenance release with some new features.

The main new feature is an option to display all thumbnails in the browser as single page with the same size. If turned on, this gives a nice grid layout of your books. The sync dialog now gives detailed information about what is actually happening.
