Manga Reader 1.2.6 update

Sorry to release this so soon after the last update, but there was a fairly critical bug that I wanted to fix that was introduced with  1.2.5. The bug is in the zip library used to open mga files, and prevents you from opening most mga documents.

Manga Reader Localization

Hello everyone,

I am thinking of releasing localized versions of Manga Reader, initially for the following languages: French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. More languages can of course be added later.

If you are interested in helping me translate Manga Reader to any of these languages or any other, simply reply to this post.

Thanks.

• By default, manga images are not displayed in the Online Manga Explorer. You can choose to display them by checking the “Show Pictures” checkbox.
• Saving a .mga manga in Manga Creator does not re-encode all images to the HD Photo format (.wdp). So, if you add a JPEG image to the manga, the format is not changed to the HD photo format, the JPEG format is used.
