Create Comic Book

Comic book archive or reader files are simple archives containing a sequence of image files with a special naming convention. Standard archive formats like tar, zip, 7z, rar, ACE are used with a special file suffix to indicate the type of archive used. Readers are able to unarchive and display the contents of these files.

Supported formats

• rar - Archives created using rar compression codec. The desired images are added to a standard rar file using the rar extension. Once generated, the file is renamed to have the cbr extension which helps readers identify the codec as rar.


• zip - Archives created using zip compression codec. The desired images are added to a standard zip file using the zip extension. Once generated, the file is renamed to have the cbz extension which helps readers identify the codec as zip.


• tar - Archives created using tar archive format. The desired images are added to a standard tar file using the tar extension. Once generated, the file is renamed to have the cbt extension which helps readers identify the codec as tar.


• 7z - Archives created using 7z archive format. The desired images are added to a standard 7z file using the 7z extension. Once generated, the file is renamed to have the cb7 extension which helps readers identify the codec as 7z.

Note

The output file is renamed to have the standard cbr, cbz, cbt, cb7 extension. If a target file with the same extension already exists, it will be replaced by the new file being generated.

Credits

The archive is created using libarchive. We also use the QArchive Qt library as the wrapper around libarchive.
