|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Usage and considerations</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The usual way to read a comic with YACReader is press 'O' to open a comic,
|
||||
and then use 'Space' and 'B' for autoscrolling pages, you can use 'UP', 'DOWN' or
|
||||
'Mouse Wheel' too, when you reach page limit (top or bottom) next page is loaded
|
||||
automatically, moreover, you can go to next or previous page using 'RIGTH' and 'LEFT'.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Jumping between pages is possible using "Go To..." dialog ('G' key) or "Go To Flow" widget ('S' key).
|
||||
You don't have to wait until all pages are loaded to use these functions, because pages are shown as soon
|
||||
as they are ready.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
YACReader loads all comic compresed images in memory, when it needs to show one page, only that one is rendered.
|
||||
Since all pages are in memory YACReader uses aproximately the same RAM as the comic size, so take care if you want to view huge
|
||||
comics with YACReader (comics larger than your RAM).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The "Go To flow" widget needs to render only the images which will be shown,
|
||||
doing it in a lazy way to reduce memory consumption, in any case,
|
||||
it takes a significant amount of RAM (RAM consumption depends on how many images and
|
||||
how larger are them). So, if you don't have enough RAM, please, reduce 'Slide' size on the 'Options' dialog.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h1>Quick start guide</h1>
|
||||
<p>YACReader is the reading app in the YACReader suite. Use it to open a comic file directly, open a folder of images, or continue reading something launched from YACReaderLibrary.</p>
|
||||
<p>This guide focuses on the current essentials. For the full list of keyboard shortcuts, and to customize them, open the <b>Shortcuts</b> dialog from the toolbar, menu, or settings dialog.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Start reading</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open a comic file, open a folder, or drag and drop content into the window.</li>
|
||||
<li>YACReader supports the usual comic archive workflow and image folders. Some builds also support PDF reading.</li>
|
||||
<li>If you open a folder, YACReader can move through the neighboring files in that folder so it works well for sequential reading.</li>
|
||||
<li>The app remembers your recent files and your last reading position for each comic.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Choose a reading mode</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Use the toolbar to switch between fit width, fit height, fit page, full size, and continuous scroll mode.</li>
|
||||
<li>Enable double page mode when it fits the comic better, or switch to manga double page mode to reverse the reading order.</li>
|
||||
<li>The page flow lets you browse visually before jumping to a page.</li>
|
||||
<li>The magnifying glass is available while reading and can be resized and zoomed independently.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Move around the comic</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>You can read with the keyboard, mouse wheel, trackpad, or the mouse mode selected in the options dialog.</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the Go To dialog for an exact page jump, or open the page flow for quick visual navigation.</li>
|
||||
<li>Bookmarks are useful for favorite pages, and YACReader also keeps track of the latest page you were reading.</li>
|
||||
<li>The information overlay can show page progress while you read, and the translator tool can be toggled from the toolbar or menu.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Shortcuts</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Open the <b>Shortcuts</b> dialog to discover every available shortcut and change it to your liking.</li>
|
||||
<li>The dialog groups actions by area, so it is the best place to learn what is available in the viewer.</li>
|
||||
<li>This help page avoids a fixed shortcut table because shortcuts are customizable and may not match your setup anymore.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Useful settings</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>The options dialog includes language selection, appearance and theme settings, background color, page flow behavior, and image adjustment controls.</li>
|
||||
<li>You can tune brightness, contrast, gamma, scaling quality, and whether small images should be enlarged to fit the page.</li>
|
||||
<li>If you use a trackpad or prefer a specific click behavior, review the scroll and mouse mode settings first.</li>
|
||||
<li>Light and dark themes can follow the system setting, and custom themes can be loaded too.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you mainly want to manage a collection, search across it, or edit comic metadata, use YACReaderLibrary and open the selected comic from there.</p>
