CoView is an image viewer that focuses on viewing comics. It supports special comic archives such as CBR and CBZ, but also standard archives like ZIP or simply saved in folders. Browsing and reading are similar to turning pages and a zoom tool lets you see more detail. Bookmarking lets you continue reading where you left off.

v1.0.51
Oops, scratch my comment about the F2 directory, it did end up opening a directory in the temp folder. However, upon exiting the program, I went back to the "C:/DocumentsAndSettings/LocalSettings//temp/" folder and the temporary directory it created was gone.
v1.0.49
I got it to run on Win7 but it took a couple tries for it to open my .CBR files. Seemed to work fine after I alt-tabbed to "My Computer" and dragged-&-dropped the file into CoView.
When I hit F2 it started in the same directory that the CoView executable is in.
Might be a teensy bit slow as Andrew states but if you're looking for a small, self-contained viewer for occasional use then this may be the one for you.

On win7 it doesnt start
When you "F2" to open files, it starts at C:/DocumentsAndSettings/LocalSettings/Tiresias/temp/RARSFX0/ Apparently, it is creating a temp directory on HD. Is this "stealth"? Could someone please verify, and delete this comment as necessary.
Seems a little slow in displaying images in CBR and CBZ for me.
Important: Because of its minimal interface, the first key you need to know is F1 to open the menu, and then i, to change language.
