Out Our Way 1936 dailies not being displayed
« on: January 01, 2013, 05:42:28 PM »

Only one strip is visible for both the Jan-June file, and for the July-Dec file. And since they are each 50 mb, which is also the size of the 1929 dailies file which holds 315 strips, it seems like there should be a lot more.

I noticed this when reading online - I then registered and downloaded the Out_Our_Way_1936_dailies_Jan_Jun.cbz file, but still only the first strip is visible.

Jon used PNG files for each page instead of jpgs.  It seems Mark's preview feature doesn't like them.
CDisplay can read them though for reading the cbz.  I'd expect most apps should be able to handle the png files.

Both the files have the images stored as .tiff ... which CB+, DCM and cdisplay cannot deal with. I did contact Jon at the time ... but clean forgot to try again. Could you do it please Yoc?

PS: Some of  the others he did as .png and they are fine.

Well, I do have a workaround.
I made a copy of the file, changed the extension to .zip.
Then I could extract the separate images with Windows Explorer, and view them with Windows Photo Viewer.

I've asked Prime user to fix the 1936 files.  Jon has been using PNG files for a while so these must be older uploads of his.

If someone here can grab the 'fixed' versions from DCM when the see them for uploading I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
