Manga reader enhancements like Komikku

[MBA380]

Feature Summary

Please add the following enhancements to the Manga reader. These enhancements are currently implemented in Komikku.

1. Progress slider should be flipped (if reading mode is right to left (manga style)).
2. Double pages should be zoomed into (start from full overview of the double page then zoom into the right part) and when the next page button is pressed the zoom should advance to the left.

Detailed Description

Current Behavior

• Describe the current functionality or lack thereof.

1. The progress bar advances as usual, from left to right. When the reading mode is changed to Manga style, the progress bar feels out of place and inconsistent (since you'd probably change the next button to be on the left as well and when you advance the progress bar moves right, the opposite of what you press). It's also awkward to use the progress bar to seek through pages because you'd be going the opposite way of the bar.

2. Double pages are shown as a full overview, sometimes being too small to read so you'd have to double press to zoom in or pinch (this can sometimes lead into misclicks and advance the page instead which is annoying).

Proposed Solution

• Detail how the feature should work and any potential benefits.

1. Progress bar should be flipped if your reading mode is right to left. This would make it more consistent with the reading mode and you can seek through the pages through the bar more easily.

2. Double pages should be zoomed in (start from a double page overview and zoom into the right part of the page, basically acting like a single page). When you press the 'next page' button the zoom should move to the other part of the double page and then proceed onto the next page when that button is pressed again.

Considerations

• Mention any potential challenges or alternatives.
  Not sure, will update if I can think/find any.
