✨ MComix3(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the MComix3 manual page — it's a General Commands Manual entry, and it's literally about to be your new fave thing 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

MComix3 — GTK Comic Book Viewer

like. it views comics. it's GTK. the name says it all, no cap 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mcomix3 [OPTION...] [PATH...]

that's it. options, then paths. slay.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

MComix3 is a user-friendly, customizable image viewer. it's specifically built to handle comic books — both Western comics and manga — and it supports a whole variety of container formats, including CBR, CBZ, CB7, CBT, LHA and PDF. the range?? iconic. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — shows you the help text and then dips (exits). perfect for when you're lost lol
  • -s, --slideshow — opens the app straight into slideshow mode. cinematic vibes only 🔥
  • -l, --library — shows the library on startup, so your whole collection is right there
  • -v, --version — prints the version number and exits. quick lil flex

👀 Viewing modes 👀

  • -f, --fullscreen — starts the app in fullscreen mode. main character energy, honestly
  • -m, --manga — starts the app in manga mode 🍓
  • -d, --double-page — starts the app in double page mode, so you get two pages at once

🔍 Zoom modes 🔍

  • -b, --zoom-best — starts with zoom set to best fit mode ✨
  • -w, --zoom-width — starts with zoom set to fit width
  • -h, --zoom-height — starts with zoom set to fit height
⚠️ okay so important: the zoom modes are mutually exclusive. if you specify more than one, only the first one gets used. choose one, bestie. commit. 💀

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • PATH — the path to one or more files or directories to be opened. yes, more than one, go wild 🧚

💜 DEPENDENCIES 💜

Required:

  • Python 3.3 or later
  • PyGObject 3.24 or later, with GTK+ 3 3.22 or later
  • PIL (Python Imaging Library) 1.1.5 or later. alternatively, Pillow (a fork of PIL) can be used
  • Distribute or Setuptools. note that Distribute supersedes Setuptools on most distributions
  • unrar, rar or libunrar to extract RAR archives
  • p7zip to extract 7Z archives. heads up tho — p7zip might be able to extract RAR archives as well, but that might require additional software (for example, p7zip-rar on Debian-like systems), and it might fail to open certain RAR archives, especially newer ones 😭
  • lha to extract LHA archives
  • mupdf for PDF support
