garbanzo Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Nice idea, but you should work on cover images. Use Comic Utility Belt, it can extract covers from PDF/CBR/CBZ files. Just point it to your magazines folder and let it go. The resulting images will have the same root filename as your magazines, so they'll work great with LB. https://sourceforge.net/projects/comicutility/ I just tried it out with some comics, and it works great! I'm tempted to put all my comics in LB, but I would have to create a new system for each series, and that would be a LOT of work...

Omen Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I agree with @garbanzo, covers look a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Seems like that app has a 200 file limit at least for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzo Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 That's too bad. I haven't tried it on a large scale yet. Just my comics folder has over 100,000 files in it. That means I would have to run the app 500 times to extract all the covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 @harryoke i've never thought of reading old magazines but seeing the old spectrum ones has made me want to check them out. Are the magazines downloadable or are they online to read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 cbr and cbz are just rar and zip files, they will open and extract with winrar without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzo Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Here are a couple good sources for old computer and gaming mags. I have about 3,000 issues so far, but I only recently started to "actively" collect them. I have several more sources to exhaust before I move on to something else https://archive.org/details/gamemagazines https://www.retromags.com http://ftp.pigwa.net/stuff/collections/Atari magazines/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
