Comix (Software)

Comix is an image viewer for Linux and BSD, which was developed specifically for watching comic book archives. Comix is written in the Python programming language and uses the free component library GTK . This program is free software and is offered for free under the GNU General Public License ( GPL).

Functions

Comix works with the special file formats CBZ ( Comic Book Zip ), CBR ( Comic Book RAR) and CBT ( Comic Book TAR). These are compressed file archives, which do not differ in principle from the known ZIP, RAR and TAR and can also be opened with other programs. In this file archives are the respective comics that are usually divided into several JPEG or PNG files with continuous numbering. In addition Comix can convert all major archives, gzip, bzip2 and tar open and uncompressed images.

Localization

Since version 2.7 of January 29, 2006 Comix is available in a German translation.
