Submit portable freeware that you find here. It helps if you include information like description, extraction instruction, Unicode support, whether it writes to the registry, and so on.

I feel like someone was asking about programs that can view 7-zip compressed comic collections, but I can't find it.

Anyway, it's open source with a BSD license.

-adds an entry in the registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\QtProject] (open file dialogue)

-doesnt support password protected archives yet

-doesnt have a recently opened files list

-doesnt remember where last archive was opened


I think Maxview still has it licked in functionality
but this one certainly looks much slicker

Yasai - comic viewer

Tested version 1.0.5 on WinXP SP3

Status: Portable - writes to bookmarks.sqlite and Yasai.ini (stealth status unknown)
License: BSD
Format support: 7z, rar, zip, cbr, cbz ... bmp, png, gif, tiff

First, this program did one totally fantastic thing I've been looking for for quite a while: treating adjacent directories just like part of the same directory (edit:JPEGview will also do this). So it'll go down a list of folders:
  • D:\June Photos
    D:\Art Show
    D:\Cats
... just like they were all in the same folder. Even subfolders. It's wonderful for people who organize their photos by directories

Bookmarks were cool, but the functionality described above seemed to disappear when loading from bookmarks.

Negatively, I couldn't get any of the various views settings to work (full screen, fit page to window width, don't fit pages, view side-by-side). Notably I was only using the program to look at individual JPEG files so maybe something was weird with the program not looking into a CBR or RAR file? I have no idea.

No smooth scroll feature like other comic book viewers I've seen.

Sigh ... yeah, I misspelled my search (Yesai). Merged.

Quick topic update to highlight Yasai v1.0.5 native portability (BTW, regarding issues previously reported, check the "Known Issues" section at http://yasai.codeplex.com/documentation).
