YACReader 8.5.0

YACReader 2.0.5 for iOS has been submited to the app store. So it is time to release YACReader 8.5.0.

By now I will put here links to the release candidate version. Please, let me know if you find any issues. For the first time, YACReader is going to include YACReaderLibraryServer for running a headless version of YACReaderLibrary for serving comics to the iOS app.

* Windows ANGLE (for those with OpenGL issues): www.dropbox.com/s/cob9kqz1m1klfeb/YACRea...win32-ANGLE.exe?dl=0
* OSX (updated Final Release): bitbucket.org/luisangelsm/yacreader/down...5.0-MacOSX-Intel.dmg

Note: for running the headless version of YACReaderLibrary in OSX open a console and type:

Hi, Luis!

Something we need specifically to test? How to run the headless version?

(again, no grid view for me)

Yeah, you need the ANGLE version for the grid.

The headless version has to be executed in a command line enviroment (cmd in windows):
It will use the config created by YACReaderLibrary, so you don't need to do anything.

Yeah!

The headless library is running! Two questions:

- how can I open the full library if I need it?
- does the prompt window have to stay open saying `Logging to C:/Users/XXXXX/AppData/Local/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary/server_log.log`?

Thank you, Luis!

By now you can only run YACReaderLibrary and YACReaderLibraryServer exclusively. Since the server is in a 'beta' status I want to keep it this way.

The way to run the server in Linux is: As far as I know there are no equivalent to nohup in Windows (if anyone knows how to do this, please share it). You can try nssm.cc/ to use YACReaderLibraryServer as a service in Windows (I didn't test it yet).

Hello,

Since I have downloaded and installed the beta 8.5.0 RC1, I have noticed that my covers are no longer appearing in "grid view" mode. I can change to "Comics View" and see the comic covers just fine.

So far, I have tried:
-uninstalling the application and then:
deleting ".yacreaderlibrary" folder in the library folder
deleting AppData\Local\YACReader
reinstalling
creating new library/generating covers from archives
This did not fix the issue

-creating a small 2 comic, 5-page test library with both a .zip and .7z archive.

I still haven't had any luck.

I've attached an image of what I see in grid view mode.

Thankyou for your time

This sounds suspiciously like an error I know from Linux packaging for YACReader. In my case this is triggered by missing qml/qtquick dependencies since they do not get included at compile time. It's possible Luis forgot to include them in RC1.

Yeah, I have check the package and a dependency is missing. So, thank you for reporting the problem Commdor. I will update the binary later.

Nice, great update, is always good to see the programs you like keep improving. I haven't found any other bugs apart of these:

>No grid view (Win10 64bits, AMD card) (same as Commdor)
>YacReader again does not appear in "Open with" menu, as posted here
>"A" key for toggling fit to height/width does not work in comic viewer.

Thanks Qulox. I will try to fix that in the final release.

BTW, I have updated the windows installer, now the grid should work again.
