Problems with the next/prev hint bars:

1. the arrows need to be centered vertically
2. the arrow backgrounds don't match the bar color

Bookmarks may not be working with image files (not archives)?

See MainDisplay.xaml.cs, LoadAndDisplayComic, TODO

Keyboard hints are only visible on startup.

Consider using an InformationWindow to display on-the-fly, e.g. for the '?' key. Or menu.

Scan a folder tree containing books
Show a preview of first page(s) in the book
Helpful for spotting duplicates, finding books you want to read

• Will want to cache files / thumbs : frequent rescans will be painful
• "first" image in book may not be useful: need to be able to find first "useful" image or allow user control

A real-life manga had a folder name ending in .PNG. Add this as a test archive.

Store a history of most recent files.

A ZIP file containing ZIPped files doesn't work.

Typical situation: a manga volume containing ZIPped chapters.

A crash (see next issue) appears to leave the AsyncLoader thread alive. (visual studio can't build because the exe is in use).

Need a last chance exception handler to clean up that thread... ?

Support opening all images in a folder by:

1. acting like picture viewer: user opens one image, all images are loaded and can be paged through.
   or
2. browsing for, and opening all images in, a folder

It appears the async archive loader may still be alive after the archive is fully loaded.

Manifests in part as memory / handles locked.

The quick-and-dirty load of "archive containing archives" has made the code a bit too much of a cobble.

1. Have lost "async" feature: containing archive has to be fully extracted before any image shown
2. Too much duplicated code.
3. 'activeFileNames' cobble.
4. Passing too many parameters for ExtractFile.
5. Possibly leaving temp files around (not deleted)

Allow dragging a ZIP to the ComicViewer window and open

Add support for viewing animated GIFs

What, if anything, needs to happen to support CBR/CBZ files?

Look into supporting 'location' for individual image files.

See ImageLoader.cs, LoadComicBook, TODO comment.

The code suggests that multiple archives can be loaded, and then navigate between them. E.g. Alt+Home, Alt+End, Alt+PageDown, Alt+PageUp.

However, Alt+Home / Alt+End seem to be non-functional.

1. Using file browser, select multiple ZIPs to load.
2. Page up/down to nav within first archive.
3. Alt+PageDown to go to second archive; page down a few times.
4. Alt+Home should go to beginning of first archive.

Step 4 goes to beginning of 2d archive.

Consider a new feature: "Load folder" which loads all images in the folder.

A possibly "more obvious" implementation of the current behavior of "load a single image automatically loads all images in the folder".

The "multi_zero_start" archive, when loaded, crashes.

When the files are extracted and opened as files, no crash.

I think it is due to the AsyncLoader logic only loading the first 5 files. As the archive in question has the first 5 files as invalid, we fall over.

The AsyncLoader logic that loads the first 5 files needs to load the first 5 valid files ...
