Flatpak version does not support cb7 ?

Hi there,

First of all thanks to the team for the fabulous effort.

I was trying to use the yacreaderlibrary and reader on Fedora 38.

However it seems that the official rpm package does not support 7z, and thus we can't read cb7:

yacreader can't open cb7 and yacreaderlibrary can't either.

I tried the flatpak version, but it's the same problem:

Even though its text states that it can:

• File support: YACReader supports a wide variety of comic files and image types. rar, zip, cbr, cbz, tar, pdf, 7z and cb7, jpeg, gif, png, tiff and bmp.

Plus I'm not sure how to start the library from the flatpak...

Any suggestion ?

The problem is that Linux packages default to unarr. You should try to build from src with 7zip support enabled.

The current release of Unarr does not come with 7z support enabled by default. I will look into enabling it for the Flatpak.

Thanks for the replies @selmf @ ,

I tested this today, on Fedora 39, with the flatpak (9.13.1.2307166) and rpm version (yacreader-9.13.1-2.fc39.x86_64)


- for both versions, when inside YacReader and pressing O to open an archive, it doesn't list .cb7 files in a directory (nor .7z).
- for both versions, YACReaderLibrary seems to take into account .cb7 files (and .7z), but they show as 0 pages entries.
- for the flatpak version we can't open any archive (even .cbr, .cbz) from YACReaderLibrary, when double clicking or pressing enter or right-clicking+open, nothing happens, YacReader does not open.

We likely need to change the file filter to display 7z and cb7 files for unarr.

The Flatpak has not had the push of the latest unarr which enables 7z by default, so it is still not working. I can't remember if the the interaction between the library and the reader was working when I tested it, but I'll look into it.

The update for the Flatpak is already prepared, but I didn't have time to push it yet. I don't have as much free time to dedicate to YACReader as I used to these days

I have to correct myself. I *did* push the update for 7z support by default, but I either made a typo in the build script or it does not work for different reasons.

A quick check in the YACReader source revealed that there are a few instances where re-adding cb7 and 7z as supported file format has been forgotten. This leads to symptoms like cb7 and 7z not showing up in the file selection dialog.
