Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

Is it possible to download and test the newest version on N9 somehow or must one wait till it get to the Store ?

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

@segfaults
I have just uploaded 2.4.7 that might fix the segfaults. So please upgrade and report back. :)

@up-to-date Mieru package for Harmattan
Is available from the the Mieru OBS repository. It should show up at about the same time I submit the package to Fremantle autobuilder and sometimes earlier.

BTW, an updated Ovi store package is already in the QA. :)

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

I found Mieru while looking harmattan apps on transifex and translated it to Finnish language. There are probably some translation errors so I hope that other Finns will also fix those when they notice them.

Link for the Finnish translation on transifex: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/mieru/language/fi/

Thanks for the great app. Finally I can read Iron Sky comic I bought long time ago :)

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

Added a dutch translation.

Thanks a lot ! :) I've already integrated and released the Finnish translation (together with a Vietnamese one that also surfaced on Transifex) and will do the same for the Dutch one right away ! :)

UPDATE: Looks like someone is working on French translation at this very moment on Transifex. :D

BTW, would someone also be interested in translating the package description ?

Code:

Mieru is a flexible manga and comic book viewer.

NOTE: page turning works by tapping the left or right half of the screen

Mieru supports all common manga and comic book storage formats including

zip and rar archives and plain images in a folder.

* automatic previous/next chapter loading

* history of last open titles

* elegant and touch friendly interface

* pinch zoom support

* reopens on last open page and page region

* rotation lock

Debian packages support localized descriptions as do some repositories (Ovi does, not sure about Apps4MeeGo) so it would definitely come handy. :)

I've created a translation page on the wiki (Czech & simplified Chinese translations are already done) - but just posting it here is also fine. :)

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

I updated the wiki page for dutch.

One question/remark: I added "if supported" in brackets after the pinch zoom support. I did that because I suppose you are referring to a multitouch gesture zoom function? If so, it is not supported on the N900. It could be I misunderstood what you meant by this, than I will change the wiki text again.

Re: [Announce] Mieru: a flexible manga and comic book reader

Swirl gesture for zooming in Fremantle would be a killer feature.

Good point - you are absolutely correct. Mieru currently supports only the multi-touch pinch zoom, which of course doesn't work on resistive screen and other single-touch devices.

Of course, I'd like to add some other zooming methods that work on single-touch devices in the future. :)

Yep, that would be one possibility - the only problem is that if I'm not mistaken, the swirl zoom detection algorithm is a part of the closed MicroB UI and would have to be reimplemented from scratch.

Other options:

on-screen zoom buttons
zooming with keyboard keys
press the screen for 1 second -> you get some feedback (notification/vibration) -> and then you can move your finger up to zoom in or down to zoom out
