Release date: 31.01.2015
- Keyboard shortcuts can now be edited from MComix' preference dialog
in a new tab "Shortcuts". (by Valentin Gologuzov)
Please not that the arrow keys, Backspace and Escape cannot be bound
to actions right now, unless you're manually editing the config file.
- During database upgrade, MComix did not consider that books in the
"Last read" database might no longer exist, leading to program crash.
This has been fixed.
- Adding a collection with a numeric name to the library made the library
unusable. This has been fixed.
- Fixed win32 builds missing the 'calendar' module.
- Fixed bookmarks not being displayed in the Ubuntu Unity global menu.
- Fixed 'Continue reading' not working when files are opened from
the command line (by Boris Bogar).
- Improved page extraction and caching algorithm, leading to much better
responsiveness, especially for viewing large archives. (by Benoit Pierre)
- MComix will now always hide the mouse cursor after a period of
inactivity, even when not in fullscreen mode. (by Benoit Pierre)
- The ALT+Left and ALT+Right keys will now either advance one page,
or go back one page, depending on the user being in manga mode.
- CTRL plus mouse wheel will now zoom in/out one level.
- Manual zooming will now use a logarithmic scale instead of a linear
spline.
- The library will now use natural sorting for "Sort by name" and
"Sort by path" instead of alphanumeric sorting, bringing it in line
with most other sorting done by MComix.
- Adding a book to a collection with the same book already existing
in another collection did not immediately show the book in the
library main view when the new collection was already selected.
- MComix can now use the '7z' executable to read .tar.xz and .tar.lzma
archives.
- ZIP archives using BZIP2 compression will now fall back to external
unzip/7z instead of failing (by Awad Mackie).
- MComix can now read PDF files using tools provided by mupdf,
namely mutool and mudraw. (by Benoit Pierre)
- MComix will now use the current GTK theme's icons for
Next/Previous buttons.
- Added AppData meta information for software repositories.
- Updated traditional Chinese translation (by Wayne Su).
MComix 1.00
Release date: 26.04.2013
- When "Store information about recently opened files" is enabled in
the preferences dialog, all opened books will automatically be added
to the library and moved into the collection "Recent". In addition,
the last read page will be stored and recalled the next time the book
is opened again.
- Fixed several malfunctions that could occur if no SQLite library
was installed.
- Fixed a bug that prevented MComix from showing the first page of an
archive nested in other archives.
- If both scrollbars were shown, it was impossible to scroll all the way
down using the scrolling keys. This has been fixed.
- When a directory was opened using the File->Open dialog, MComix did not
sort files within the directory, ignoring the user's preferences.
- "File->Refresh" did not restore the currently viewed page in archives.
- Deleting a file in the library without closing the same file in the main
window before no longer causes an exception.
- The two images in double-page mode will now scale separately again.
(by Valentin Gologuzov)
- "Fit to size" mode no longer scales up small images unless "Stretch
small images" is enabled as well.
- If "Store information about recently opened files" is disabled,
MComix will no longer remember the last browsed directory in the
File->Open dialog.
- Deleting a large amout of books from the library should be much
faster now.
- MComix now starts in RTL mode when a RTL language has been manually
selected in the preference dialog.
- Added an option to run arbitrary external commands on the currently
opened file or archive. Commands can be edited from the "File->Open with"
menu entry. The first item in this list can be accessed with the '1'
key, the second using '2', and so on, up to '9' for command nine.
The first argument to each command must be the absolute path to an
executable, or an executable found in PATH, or an executable found in
the specified working directory.
- Added an option to automatically rotate images if their height exceeds
their width (or width exceeds height), located in the menu bar under
Tools -> Transform image -> Auto-rotate image.
- Added a new preference option to control sorting of files within
archives. Natural sort order is the default ordering, which sorts
numbers in file names based on their natural order (e.g. 1, 2, .., 10),
while literal order will use standard C sorting (e.g. 1, 23, 4).
MComix 0.97.1
Release date: 18.02.2012
- Corrected libunrar regression. (thanks to Giovanni Scafora for pointing
this out)
MComix 0.97
Release date: 17.02.2012
- Fixed segmentation fault on x64 platforms when trying to extract RAR
archives with libunrar.
- The lens now uses the original pixbuf when preparing the magnified image
instead of the already scaled pixbuf that is shown in MComix' display
area. In addition, fixed zero division error when trying to use the lens
on images with width greatly exceeding height.
- If 'Auto load last opened file' was enabled in the preferences, MComix
would try to load an invalid path if no file was opened when MComix was
last closed.
- Menu item hotkeys can now be changed by hovering over a menu item with
the mouse and pressing the desired key, or key combination.
(by Juha Sahakangas and Alan Horkan)
- All other hotkeys (such as keys for scrolling or zooming) can now be
customized by editing keybindings.conf in MComix' configuration
directory, i.e. ~/.config/mcomix on Linux or %HOMEPATH%/MComix on
Windows. MComix must not be running while editing the file, or changes
will be overwritten once the program exits.
- Removed error nag box that would pop up after program shutdown on
Windows occasionally.
- The order in which files are loaded and displayed can now be customized
in the "Advanced" tab of the preferences dialog. Files can be sorted
either by name, file size, or by last-modified date. This change does
not affect ordering of files inside archives.
(by C Nelson)
- MComix can now automatically remember the last read page in archive
files. When an archive is opened, the last read page will be loaded if
"Store information about recently opened files" is set to "File names
and last read page" (see "Behaviour" tab of the preferences window).
- Updated Italian translation (by Giovanni Scafora).
MComix 0.96
Release date: 24.12.2011
- Opening a RAR archive with 7z would destroy the archive, leaving only
a 0-byte file. This has been fixed.
- Fixed MComix opening files in other directories after scrolling past the
first page, even when "Automatically open next directory" was disabled.
- Fixed a bug that would hang MComix when trying to open a
password-protected RAR archive.
- MComix no longer restores the last opened file when it was terminated
abnormally.
- Files opened outside of archives are now naturally sorted (e.g. 1.jpg,
2.jpg, 10.jpg instead of 1.jpg, 10.jpg, 2.jpg). Before, only images
within archives were naturally sorted.
- The preference option "Show only one page where appropriate" has been
split up to allow controlling whether certain pages should be displayed
as single page in double page mode (title pages/wide pages/none).
- "Delete" is now bound to "DEL" instead of "F8" for consistency with most
other desktop applications.
- Updated traditional Chinese translation (by Wayne Su).
MComix 0.95
Release date: 05.11.2011
- mcomix/mcomixstarter.py has been moved out of the mcomix package into
the root directory of the mcomix distribution.
Note for packagers: Please do not directly symlink a file in /usr/bin to
mcomix/run.py! Use the wrapper generated by 'setup.py install' instead,
or a script similar to mcomixstarter.py.
- Fixed library freezing up when displaying large amounts of books.
In addition, changes to cover size and sort order weren't kept
across program restarts.
- Fixed "Copy to clipboard" doing nothing on Win32.
- Fixed freezing on password-protected 7zip archives. Please not that such
files currently aren't supported and will always appear empty in MComix.
- The All-in-one package on Win32 should now use the native Windows theme.
- Fix MComix crashing on startup when opening a file in a directory
that contains names Python cannot directly convert to Unicode strings.
(by Joseph Seaton)
- Selecting "Japanese" from the language dropdown box in the preferences
dialog reverted the language to English.
- Added support for reading archives in archives.
(by David Pineau)
- Reduced minumum slideshow scrolling delay. With small values here and in
scrolling distance (e.g. 0.05s, 1px), MComix can simulate "smooth"
scrolling.
- The "Dynamic background color" option now uses a color that should be
closer to a page's actual edge color.
- Removed preference options for 'Use double page mode by default' and
'Use manga mode by default'. The last used settings will be remembered
instead.
- The OSD is now used more frequently for displaying error messages that
would only appear in the status bar or in the console before.
In addition, the OSD can now be triggered with mouse button 4, as well
as with the TAB key.
- Updated French translation. (by Frdric Chateaux)
MComix 0.94
Release date: 27.09.2011
- Fixed MComix opening archives in sibling directories
even when "Automatically open next archive" was disabled.
- Fixed recursively adding directories to the library not working
consistently on Win32.
- Fixed the first command line argument to MComix being ignored on Win32,
breaking "Open with..." functionality.
- The library window has been slighly reorganized. All collection-related
functionality can now be accessed via the right-click popup on the
collection panel to the left. Similiarily, "Add books" is now on the
main book panel popup. Additionally, CTRL-SHIFT-A has been set as
shortcut for this action.
- Library covers will now be cached after being loaded. This will avoid
frequent reloading when switching between collections, or when filtering
books.
- The magnifying lens can no longer become partially invisible when moving
around near window edges, and should no longer flicker.
- MComix automatically switching to next/previous directories can now
be controlled with a new preference option.
- Updated French translation. (by Frdric Chateaux)
MComix 0.93
Release date: 27.08.2011
- Removing a book from the library while its thumbnail wasn't loaded yet
would result in a segmentation fault. This issue has been fixed.
- Fixed sorting in the bookmark edit dialog not working as expected. The
buttons "Sort ascending" and "Sort descending" have been removed, as
they did the same as clicking on the "Name" header of the bookmarks
table. Double-clicking a bookmark will open it.
- Fixed a bug that made it impossible to show toolbar/menu controls in
fullscreen mode if "Automatically hide all toolbars in fullscreen" was
enabled.
- Fixed exception related to calculation of dynamic background colors.
(by Nephiel)
- Library collection names did not accept non-ASCII characters. This has
been fixed.
- Added support for LHA/LZH archives, using either 'lha' or '7z' as
extractors. Please not that the '7z' executable on Windows does not
support printing Unicode characters at all, so extracting an archive with
non-ASCII filenames will always fail.
- Switching pages while in slideshow mode now resets the slideshow timer.
(by Anonymous)
- When opening an archive in double page mode, the first page (i.e. the
cover) is displayed as single page.
- The currently opened file can now be extracted from archives using
the 'Save as...' menu item.
- Fixed thumbnail size preference not being respected, and scaling of
book covers in the library dialog being broken.
- Files in the library can now be opened without closing the library
window using the right-click popup menu.
- Reordered various menu items.
- A possible deadlock that could occur when opening archive files has been
fixed.
- Updated German translation.

lder in the
book selection window.
- Split each file to only contain one class per file (except labels.py).
- The workaround against a problem with unrar applied in version 3.1.3 has
been removed again. It created some new problems with archives that
have multiple files with the same filename in different subdirectories.
- Fixed a bug so that translations and extra icons are always available
when running Comix from the source directory, no matter what directory is
the current working directory.
- Fixed a bug in the "Go to page dialog" that caused the page to not be
changed when manually typing in a new page number and pressing Enter.
- Some minor changes.
Comix 3.1.3
- Added Polish translation by Kamil Leduchowski.
- Updated French translation by Achraf Cherti.
Comix 3.1.2
- Fixed a bug which caused ALL files to be added to the library when
adding in recursive mode instead of just archives. Also, only files with
cbz, cbr or cbt as filename extension will now be added in recursive mode
to avoid adding cruft files with the same magic numbers as the archives.
Comix 3.1.1
- Added automatic dependency checking to install.py.
- Added error messages and graceful exit from Comix in the case of missing
dependencies.
- Applied a workaround for a bug(?) in unrar that caused problems with
some RAR archives containing directories with invalid filename encodings.
Thanks to Franois Ingelrest.
- Updated French translation by Achraf Cherti.
- Changed the "Use stored thumbnails for images in archives" preference to
off by default.
- Changed the "Go to the next archive in directory after last page"
preference to on by default.
Comix 3.1
- Created a new convert dialog that is built from the standard GTK+ save
dialog. It now supports saving in different directories etc.
- Added an "Extract image" menu item that lets you extract individual
images from the archive.
- Added support for recursive adding of archives to the library.
- Added a Frech translation by Achraf Cherti.
- Fixed a bug which rendered the magnifying lens and the ability to drag
images around with the mouse useless in some situations, and with some
added to the library through a dialog or by drag and drop. The comic books
appear as covers in the library window where they can be browsed or
opened. They can be easily filtered by typing in regular expressions.
- When dropping multiple files on the Comix main window, the first file
gets opened now instead of none.
- The convert dialog now saves the last used archive type.
- Fixed a memory leak when creating new thumbnails from files.
- Some minor fixes.
Comix 2.8
- MIME types for cbz, cbr and cbt archives are now registered by default.
Use the --no-mime flag for install.py to skip it.
- Added a thumbnailer (by Christoph Wolk) that lets file managers create
thumbnails for cbz, cbr and cbt archives. Currently it is only supported
by Nautilus and does not affect other file managers. It is installed if
the --no-mime flag is not given to install.py. Nautilus has to be
restarted before the thumbnailer is activated.
- Added a "Hide all" menu item which hides menubar, toolbar, statusbar,
scrollbars and thumbnails at once.
- Added an option to only display a single image in double page mode if
that image consists of two pages. An image is assumed to consist of two
pages if it's width is greater than it's height.
- Filename is now displayed as well as directory name when viewing images
in a directory in single page mode.
- Changed max zoom to 1000% to prevent X server resource drains.
- F11 can now be used to toggle fullscreen mode.
- Fixed a bug which caused the cursor to be invisible when dragging around
an image in fullscreen mode.
- Fixed a bug which removed the drag and drop functionality.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the scroll wheel to stop working when
displaying the magnifying lens by pressing the middle mouse button,
holding down the right mouse button and letting go the middle mouse button
again.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the chess board pattern background for
small transparent images to be zoomed in or out when changing size.
- Fixed a bug which could cause changes of saturation in small images to
not be updated when changing it and changing it back again.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the images to be scaled incorrectly when
the "Use smart scaling in double page mode" preference was set.
- Fixed a bug which caused the thumb selection not to be updated when
moving from page two to page one in double page mode.
- Fixed a bug which caused the wrong image to be displayed when viewing
the third last and the second last pages in double page mode, exiting
double page mode and flipping forward one page.
- Fixed a bug which caused Comix to display no warning when trying to
create a file in a directory where it does not have permission to do so.
Comix 2.3
- Comix now depends on the Python Imaging Library
(http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/) to handle some image
manipulations.
- Added the ability to rotate and mirror images.
- Added an option to set the contrast of the images.
- Added an option to show the page numbers in the upper left corner of
each thumbnail.
- Cleaned up the preferences dialog a bit.
- The arrow keys now flips pages in fit-to-screen mode.
- Added an option to go to the same directory as last time when opening
the "Open" dialog, instead of always going to a preset directory.
- Fixed a bug which caused comments to not be displayed until after all
thumbnails had been loaded when using the "Always view comments when
opening a new file" option.
- Fixed a bug which caused comment files in a directory, had their
extensions been added to the comment extensions list while the directory
was loaded, to not be opened correctly until the directory had been
reloaded.
- Fixed a bug which caused the scrollbars to not align themselves
automatically when switching between viewing comments and viewing images.
- Fixed a bug which caused the "Fit width", "Fit height" and "Best fit"
commands to scale incorrectly when viewing thumbnails.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the wrong image to be displayed if
switching from one page to another and back again really quickly.
- Some minor fixes.
Comix 2.2.1
- Fixed a bug which caused underscores in bookmark names to be shown
as underlines for the next character.
- Fixed a bug which caused Comix to crash when trying to close the
program while loading thumbnails for an archive/directory that was
opened while loading thumbnails for the same archive/directory.
- Fixed a bug which caused some events (e.g. switching fullscreen on/off),
invoked while loading thumbnails, to be delayed until all the thumbnails
had been loaded if they were invoked more than once during this loading.
There are still some issues with events that in themself initiate the
loading of thumbnails (e.g. open new file) being delayed if invoked
multiple times during the loading. This should, however, not be a problem
in most cases.
- Fixed a bug which caused some thumbnails to not be displayed in whole
when using certain GTK themes.
- Fixed a bug which caused the selected thumbnails to not be updated
properly when switching between single page and double page mode.
- Fixed a bug which caused the thumbnail scrollbar to not update it's
length when resizing the main window.
- Made the automatic scrolling of the thumbnail pane more consequent
in double page mode.
Comix 2.2
- Added a thumbnail browser.
- Added a "smart scrolling" option for the space key.
- The number pad on the keyboard can now be used to align the image(s).
'1' takes you to the lower left corner, '2' takes you to the middle of the
bottom, '3' takes you to the lower right corner and so on for all nine
digits.
- Added an option to automatically open the last viewed page when Comix
is started.
- The zoom in and zoom out commands now zoom straight on, preserving
the alignment of the viewed image(s).
- Fixed a bug which caused images to be scaled slighty wrong during
specific window size/image size combinations.
- Fixed a bug which caused the wrong image to be displayed when jumping
two pages forward with the cache option turned on in single page mode.
Comix 2.1
- Made the dialogs more GNOME HIG compliant.
- Added an option to let the scroll wheel scroll horizontally when at the
top or bottom of the page.
- Added an option to let the scroll wheel flip pages when scrolling "off
the page".
- Added an option to use smart scaling when in double page mode and
fit-to-screen mode. The smart scaling feature makes the images scale
independently so that no space is wasted. The largest of the images is
scaled as before, but the smallest in now scaled up to fill any extra
space.
- Added an option to set the toolbar to show either icons, text or both.
- The image can now be dragged around with the middle mouse button
as well.
- The "Hide menubar etc. in fullscreen" option now also affects the
scrollbars.
- Fixed a bug which caused temporary files to be overwritten when viewing
two archives in two different Comix sessions at the same time.
- Fixed a bug which caused the separators in the menus to disappear after
a while.
- Fixed a
backwards
switching
step, all
Comix 1.4

in the source archive/directory, including correct filenames.
- The zoom in and zoom out commands now zoom 15% relative to the
current size instead of 20% relative to the original size.
- Changed default image scaling quality to "Tiles" from "Hyper".
- Some minor fixes.
Comix 1.3.1
- Fixed a bug with old cached images sometimes being shown when a new
archive/directory had been opened.
Comix 1.3
- The viewed page(s) can now be dragged around by pressing the mouse
button and moving the cursor.
- New option to cache the next page for faster forward page flipping.
Continuous backwards flipping will be slower with this option. Slightly
more RAM will be used as well.
- Comix now handles manipulation of already loaded images (resizing,
changing scaling technique, etc.) more efficiently due to less disk IO.
- Fixed a bug that caused saved options to not be loaded when the
program is restarted.
Comix 1.2
- Drag and drop support.
- Changed the install.py script slightly.
- Added new error messages for the statusbar when trying to open
non-valid files etc.
Comix 1.1.2
- Applied a workaround for a bug(?) in newer versions of PyGTK, which made
the OK button in the file selection dialog return the wrong value,
rendering it useless. Thanks to neota for this solution.
Comix 1.1.1
- The "file" dependancy is no longer needed. All mime type checks are now
done internally.
- Fixed an error in the .desktop file.
- The install.py script now uses "update-desktop-database" to update the
menus properly.
- Added `Fit width', `Fit height' and `Fit to screen' commands to the
right-click menu.
- Added new option to save zooming values to future sessions.
- The right-click menu and the preferences window now looks better
and should hopefully be more user friendly.
- Changed some hotkeys and their effect.
- PyGTK requirement is now 2.6+.

- New option to set a default path to open when selecting a new file
with the `Open file' command.
- Comix now supports page scrolling with the mouse wheel.
- Fixed a bug with trying to view `File info' when viewing the last page
in double page mode.
- Fixed a bug with the number of pages always reported as zero in the
go-to-page-window.
- Some minor fixes.
Comix 0.2.1
- Fixed a bug with opening archives with 3+ files with the same name.
Comix 0.2
- Now uses the shutil module to move and delete files instead
of calling the `rm' and `mv' programs.
- Now uses gtk.gdk.pixbuf_get_file_info() to check image file types
and the `file' program to check filetypes for ZIP/RAR archives.
Filename extensions should no longer matter for Comix.
- Now supports tar, tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives.
- New menu option `File info' brings up a window and displays various
information about the file being viewed.
- New option to flip the pages viewed in double page mode.
- New option to reverse the reading order (start with the last page).
