CDisplay is a program that allows you to view JPEG, PNG and GIF images that are compressed into a ZIP, RAR, ACE or RAR archive in an alphabetical sort order without having to decompress the archive. CDisplay was created as an ebook reader/viewer for .CBZ and .CBR ebook/comic book files.
CBZ and CBR files are essentially image files compressed into an archive and the extensions renamed as CBZ and CBR (for ZIP and RAR archives, respectively). The program is designed to do automatic page sizing in order to present images in the size most suited to ebook/comic book reading, whilst maintaining high image quality. Featured page sizing options are none; fit to screen, fit to width of screen, fit to width of screen if oversized, display at specific height, or display two pages. The program will also (optionally) perfrom automatic color balancing. Scrolling up or down images is done with a single keypress.
Besides viewing CBZ and CBR ebook files, I have found CDisplay very useful in managing/archiving large libraries of image files, in that I can compress these into a single file that is easy to work with and still have them be clickable/viewable as a single entity.

awesum
thanks
Sounds good, but winzip says ‘invalid data to inflate’ and winrar says ‘file is corrupt’. I downloaded setup.zip six times, no go.
What gives?
To Dennis, the answer is simple, it wont read a directory, or compressed file for that matter if some files are corrupt or incomplete.
Try downloading what you want read again and open it with Cdisplay.
A much better and faster alternative than ACDSee. Also since a new revised version of CDisplay is out there on the net, you should have a look to see if thats what you need.

thx

Haha, seems like you totally missed the point in Dennis message…
Obviously he had downloaded the setup.zip for CDisplay and that file wont work.So how can he open his comics with CDisplay if the zipped setup for the actual software wont work?
Some people… HA!
For those who use Cdisplay 1.8, here’s a new (unofficial, i believe) version of it with a few bugs fixed…

I have a different problem,I have scanned comic pages and want to see then on cdisplay. I converted them in properties to see the jpegs as cbr. and I can see them as individual scans but I want to make one comic as it were of the scans instad of opening every scan seperately. Any ideas?
thank you very much
To make a cbr or a cbz, you just make a rar or zip file (without compression) of all your jpegs. Then rename your file accordingly.
If you have a rar, rename it to cbr.
If you made a zip, rename it to cbz.
That will allow you to view all images sequentially instead of having to open each scan on its own.
