Jomic 0.9.30

Jomic can handle both CBZ and CBR archives and has a two page mode. Supported image formats are JFIF/JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and GIF. Jomic is Open Source software distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Major Features:

1. Fixed NoClassDefFoundError in launcher scripts if installation path contained blanks (as in "C:Program Files") [Bug 1537824].
2. Fixed overlap of two images when reading from left to right in full-screen [Bug 1594668].
3. Fixed keyboard handling in full-screen mode. (Note: Java keyboard handling is a nightmare. Java full-screen mode is a nightmare. Together, they are almost unbearable. After lots of sweat and tears Im now reasonably convinced that assigning a KeyListener to the full-sscreen frame directly is pretty much on the only way to make it work. With no other JComponent in the frame needed and no InputMap ever touched.) [Part of Bug 1445957].
4. Fixed occasional empty screen when switching to full-screen. The reason was that Swings repaint events were disabled too late, so that after initially drawing the image a repaint was sent. Because the full-screen paint() does nothing, it just cleared the screen.
5. Fixed AssertionError when attempting to open next/previous comic while in full-screen and already at last/first issue.
6. Fixed error message if full-screen could not be opened due incapable device.
7. Changed image rendering to use bilinear interpolation instead of the platforms default. This increases the quality of rescaled images, in particular under Windows XP.
8. Added check box "Open in full screen" to "Open comic" dialog.

Enhancements:

• Fixed error: Problem occurs when computing a tile by the owner [Bug 1827855].
• Fixed rendering of black and white images [Bug 1456026].
• Fixed various rendering issues in windowed mode by getting rid of the deprecated and buggy DisplayJAI and using code similar to full screen mode.
• Fixed resource leaks related to image drawing (Developer note: missing Graphics.dispose()).
• Improved performance of displaying certain JFIF/JPEG images that until now occupied the CPU for several seconds. (Developer note: This was caused by Graphics2D.drawRenderedImage() being awfully slow with a scale transformation and render settings using VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR and has been fixed by internally enforcing all images to be 32-bit RBG without alpha channel.)
• Fixed "Cant find resource for bundle" error when attempting to warn that a web page could not be opened [Bug 1886584].
• Changed space bar and mouse navigation to automatically open previous/next comic when reaching the beginning/end of comic. Page up/down still have the old way and can be used to navigate without possible files being opened.
• Added rotation set with View Rotate right and View Rotate left to be preserved over sessions.
• Added http://jomic.sourceforge.net/PAD_FILE.XML to make it simple fo rautomatic tools and interested web sites to check for updates of Jomic.
• Updated Quaqua to version 4.4.1.
• Added frequently asked question "Why are some images of a comic displayed in wrong order?"
