Multi-image spreads #44

Closed ryanvilbrandt closed 3 years ago

Add support for multi-image comic pages. These images should adjust their layout responsively to match whatever is best for the user. The archive thumbnail should try to intelligently pick out the right thumbnail to use. Maybe just the first page in the spread?

My initial idea is to allow for filename in the info.ini to take a list of files, and pass them to comic.tpl as a list. comic.tpl will then place these images in divs that can be altered with CSS rules to layout however we want. Though this may need to be a separate option to avoid the issue where commas in filenames could screw things up.

I can't think of a way to do this that won't be long-term usable and easy for the creator. There's no reason I can think of why we'd want to allow this where just creating a single, extra large image that mosaics multiple pages together wouldn't be a better choice.
