I use the windows viewer, don't need more.

I store my manga uncompressed and all I really need is software to see the pages, so windows viewer does the trick ^^

Those other programs, are there any other advantages besides working with archives?, never tried others.

it's a software used to display images within a rar/zip file. You don't need to extract it to read it, just run it through the program and it'll display it without the need to.

Okay i USED to use CDisplayEX but it started having problems with certain files for me. I have since switched over to ComicRack and MAN. Holy hell its good. I can't describe to you how much better it is for me. It has some features that I really was missing in CDisplay. CHECK IT OUT NOW>

For a long time I used windows picture and fax viewer but zoom was a big headache so for some time I have been using CDisplay. Since it can read zip and rar files, it is a great help. Moreover, you do not need to used a mouse or touchpad which is very convenient if you are reading manga in the bed 😛

There are some other programs too but either they have unnecessarily complex menus or they are a burden to the CPU. All I need is a program that automatically shows actual size of files and lets me use arrows or some other key to switch between pages and travel horizontally/vertically within the page.

CDisplay satisfies all of my requirements. Moreover, it allows shortcuts to import new manga. If you are always reading from prespecified directories, it is a great help.

Windows picture veiwer is fine by me, I'm not going to waste time that I could spend reading manga by going to get some program I don't need. I've never had any problem with viewing manga on my computer so there's to reason for me to go out and get some program I'm never going to use.

Same here works perfectly fine so why bother

Windows Picture Viewer, nice sweet simple, just the way I like it. (although I use a hacked photo organizer on my iTouch, since the organization for photos on the touch sucks a lot).

Windows Fax Viewer. Nothin' fancy, but gets the job done.

I used to use Irfanview but I switched over to CDisplay. Shift+L really is convenient.

Cdisplay is generally the program of choice. The only real complaint I have about it is the limited number of bookmarks you can set and the inability to delete unused ones. It also sometimes has problems with .png or .jpg files that are incorrectly named in the .zip or .rar but that's more the fault of the person who made the file rather than the program itself. The only other thing I can actually fault the program for is that when it's in double page mode the zoom function doesn't always work as it should (depending on the resolution of the source image).

I've tried CdisplayEX but found that it didn't really add anything I care about and had a more convoluted interface that was slower to work with. It also was poorly programed and doesn't consider the fact that you might not be using the default windows color scheme which causes issues for me (since my color scheme is almost an invert). Finally it costs more system resources to run and leaks data.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewers are worthless. No two page mode = not worth my time. I haven't bothered to check but I think they both don't work on .rar files.

I haven't tried ComicRack but I doubt it'll top CDisplay.
