Wishlist: Support for comics #97

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

It would be great and probably not particularly much of an effort to implement 
a rudimentary comic book viewer.  I'd imagine the following capabilities:

  - Ability to handle CBZ files (simple ZIP archives of images) -- this would allow for this extension to be linked to the specific viewer.  CBR files would involve extracting files from a RAR archive; these can easily be converted to CBZ.

  - Display of images fullscreen in sequence, page turning via the buttons (or swiping).

  - Ability to zoom in on sections of the current image in a way similar to the nookBrowser (and the B&N one).  This way of zooming would enlarge the portion of the image displayed on the eInk screen.

  - A second zoom mode which displays a section of the image (commonly: speech bubbles) enlarged on the LC display and allows for the magnified area to be moved around via a D-pad or a direct swipe mapping.  This way, text in speed bubbles, which is usually the single most problematic aspect of viewing comics on the Nook, could be read on the LCD while the eInk one would constantly display the overall image.

I'd assume that most of the core functionality is already there in the 
nookBrowser.

Opinions?

Right. We should be able to copy code from nookBrowser and do this one. 
Also, there is a fb2 reader app listed in nookdevs. I haven't tried that one 
yet. May be it handles cbz files?

I have been working on a market app to link all the available apps and also to 
allow upgrades for all apps. 
Which font did you use in the icons? I only have a XP pc and linux.

The font in question is Segoe, which ships with Vista/Windows 7.  More details 
via PM.

We can probably use the pdfViewer app code as a starting point for this one and 
add some additional features like displaying image in touchscreen.
