Won't open certain .cbr files #89

Open gchorn opened 10 years ago

gchorn commented 10 years ago

Works on many .cbr files, but when I use the menu or double-click to open certain files, nothing happens. I know these files work because my iOS and Android comic reader apps both open them. Let me know if you'd like me to submit an example of such a file.

This is probably too late for it to be any help for you, but I have experienced such a thing myself. If it is the same issue, then the reason some could open but others was that the cbr files that you could open actually weren't cbr, but a variation like cbz or cb7. I don't think all people that make cb* files know what the last character represents, and think cb(r/z/7) is all the same thing. There have been a recurring error going around where the XADMaster framework have failed when working against rar kind of files (like cbr), but the other kept working. And as some files with the cbr extension actually cbz, this one could easily slip under the radar.
