MComix – GTK+ comic book viewer

MComix is a user-friendly, customizable image viewer.

It’s specifically designed to handle comic books (both Western comics and manga) and supports a variety of container formats (including CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT, LHA and PDF).

The software is a fork of Comix which ceased development in late 2009. MComix adds bug fixes and stability improvements.

The software is written in the Python programming language and uses GTK+ through the PyGTK bindings. It’s released under an open source license.

Features include:

• Reads most common image formats, as well as PDF, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, and LHA archives directly.
• Full screen mode, double-page mode, fit image to window width, height or both.
• Smart scrolling for easier reading.
• Manga mode (for right-to-left comic books).
• Slideshow with configurable delay and steps.
• Zoom in/out.
• Magnifying lens with configurable lens size and magnification factor.
• Bookmark pages and add books to the library.
• Enhance the image by altering the brightness, contrast, saturation, and/or sharpness. There’s also the option to automatically adjust the contrast of images.
• Transform images by manually rotating images, auto-rotate images, flip horizontally and vertically.
• Configurable image quality with bilinear, normal, and hyperbolic scaling modes.
• Configurable keyboard shortcuts.
• Internationalization support – translations are available for many languages.
• Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, BSD, and Windows.
