Default is OFF.

[Author name] Book Title.zip ⇒ Book Title
The author name is shown on a separate line.

Home Folder

List Style

You can change the file list format to a simpler one. (Legacy specification)
We recommend leaving it as Detailed.

Select Folder in Archive

ON (default): If a zip/rar file contains folders, you will be able to choose which folder to read.
OFF: Folders inside the archive are ignored (files inside the folders will be viewed).

Auto-Select Single Folder

Sync Bookmarks Using iCloud

When this feature is ON, bookmarks are synced across multiple devices.
(When reading a file with the same name on another device, the reading position is synced.)
Works for both local and remote files.

Maximum Number of Histories

You can view the reading history from ComicGlass’s home screen and menu, and choose how many history entries to keep.
You can also disable it if you don’t want to show the reading history.

Streaming Settings

Load Remote Thumbnails

When viewing a remote file list, automatically loads the file contents and generates thumbnails.

System > Download

Save to Download Folder[ON/OFF]

When transferring books to ComicGlass over the network, saves files to ComicGlass’s Downloads folder.
The Downloads folder is not backed up (not synced to iCloud, etc.). Files will be lost when you change devices, etc. For files you can’t re-download, move them to the Documents folder, or download them with this setting OFF.
*This behavior was implemented to comply with Apple’s policy that “re-downloadable files must not be included in iCloud backup.” If you need backups, we recommend turning this OFF.

File Overwrite

Choose what to do when a file with the same name as the one you’re trying to transfer from the network already exists in ComicGlass.

Download List

In the remote file list, choose whether to display the file name or directly display the name specified in the link.

Select Multiple Files to Download

You can select multiple files when downloading, but turning this OFF disables that.
(Tapping a file will download that file.)

Go to Last Folder

Even if ComicGlass exits, it shows the last opened folder on the next launch.

Sort Mode

Choose the string sorting method for things like file-name order.
Natural = Sorts in a natural order, e.g., treating number sequences as numbers. (Example: 2.zip comes before 10.zip.)
ComicGlass Classic = Compatibility mode for older versions.
Legacy = Sorts strings simply by code order. (Example: 10.zip comes before 2.zip.)

Non-unicode charset

When there are files with a non-UNICODE character encoding (when they can’t be encoded in UTF-8), select the character encoding to try first.

📕Split Spread Page[ON/OFF]
