💖 MComix — bestie's guide to the comic viewer 💖

okay so like, welcome to the MComix(1) manual, general commands edition, and yes I'm about to make a comic book viewer sound like the most iconic thing you've ever opened. because it kinda is. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

MComix — a GTK Comic Book Viewer. that's the whole vibe. she views comics. she's built with GTK. she slays. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mcomix [OPTION...] [PATH...]

like. give her some options, give her some paths, and she'll do the rest. no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so MComix is a user-friendly, customizable image viewer — she's not out here being difficult, she's literally designed to be nice to you. 🫶

and the way she's specifically built to handle comic books?? both Western comics AND manga?? obsessed. she supports a whole lil family of container formats too, and I need you to know all of them because this is the important part:

  • CBR
  • CBZ
  • CB7
  • CBT
  • LHA
  • PDF

six formats, all eaten, no crumbs. 🍓

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay this is the section you actually came for, so let's go. every single one, no skipping, I would never do you like that. 💜

  • -h, --help — shows you the help text and then dips out. exit stage left. 🚪
  • -s, --slideshow — starts the app in slideshow mode. hands-free, main character energy, just vibes. ✨
  • -l, --library — pops the library open on startup. like she's showing you her shelf. 📚
  • -v, --version — prints the version number and bounces. that's it, that's the whole job. 🎀

🌈 Viewing modes 🌈

  • -f, --fullscreen — starts the app in fullscreen mode. entire screen, zero distractions, just you and the pages. 😌
  • -m, --manga — starts the app in manga mode. right-to-left girlies, this one's for us. 👑
  • -d, --double-page — starts the app in double page mode. two pages at once because why look at one when you could look at two. 💅

🧚 Zoom modes 🧚

  • -b, --zoom-best — starts the app with zoom set to best fit mode. she figures out the size for you. delegating, as she should. ✨
  • -w, --zoom-width — starts the app with zoom set to fit width. width? matched. 🌊
  • -h, --zoom-height — starts the app with zoom set to fit height. height? matched. 📏
⚠️ okay bestie listen — these zoom modes are mutually exclusive. they do not share. if you specify more than one, the first one will be used and the rest get ignored. so like, pick your fave and commit. 🙈

💫 ARGUMENTS 💫

  • PATH — the path to one or more files or directories that should be opened. yes, more than one, she's flexible. pass her a whole stack, she's got it. 🫶
