Sequential Image Viewer?

gamb8 · 07-04-2004, 08:30 AM

Hello, I'm looking for a Sequential Image Viewer for reading comics which are jpgs in either .cbr or .cbz compression formats.

I'm using Red Hat 9 and the software i used on WinDoze was www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay (just incase you don't get what i mean)

If there is no Linux alternative, is there a piece of software which will rename all my cbr and cbz files to something i could use, such a .zip files

Thanks in advance

How dare can you imagine there could be no alternative?

There is always one, for this task you may want to take a look at this page:

As for converting, let me take a look.
I hope this helps...

According to this:

You simply need to rename:
-*.cbr to *.rar
-*.cbz to *.zip

Keep cool.

You can make a shell script to convert them automatically:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir converted
cd converted
while test "$1" != "" ; do
    echo $1
    case $1 in
        *.cbr)
            cp ../$1 $1.rar
        ;;
        *.cbz)
            cp ../$1 $1.zip
        ;;
    esac
shift
done

It changes all *.cbz and *.cbr to *.cbz.zip and *.cbr.rar. Some tweaking can get rid of the cbz's and cbr's
