Hello,

I have a bunch of .cbr files, which I have been reading for several months ever since lockdown started.

As of yesterday, suddenly, Yacreader keeps saying "Format not supported" for these files, even for files which I have already read using this same software.

I have tried reinstalling both library and reader but to no avail.

Can anyone please help?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the files themselves, as proof of that, files which I have already opened and read, are not opening anymore.
macOS Catalina 10.15.7

I tried to open it directly from the folder by using File>Open options from the YacReader menu, I have attached a screenshot - the files are greyed out and it doesn't let me select them Attachments: ...der.jpg (81KB)

Everyone has pdf files lying around, so I tried opening a pdf file and it does open. Actually, it now opens all the files. I have no idea what caused the problem and what fixed it. Have had a few frustrating weeks, and it has suddenly fixed itself. Thank you.
