"Can't install on Windows 7"

MCoverKT December 26, 2010 / Version: LongBox 0.5.3 beta

Pros

can't install to see any pros

Cons

Can't install on Windows 7. I even tried to roll back to XP capability and that didn't work either

Summary

Tried everything I could to install it and to no avail. Windows 7 said I need to find a compatible prgram through the publisher.

"Can't wait for more"

Pros

Excellent idea, the premise and design so far make me impatient for the stable builds.

Cons

The beta has its own quirks.

Summary

I tested this program, and while it is still very obviously a beta product, I like it.

The main page is a little cluttered for my taste, but i'm hoping that they implement some customization once the program gets to the polishing stages. That being said, getting to the core of the program, IE the actual download and viewing of the comics, I found little to complain about. The zoom function is your friend, if like me, you are running a high resolution display, as the text tends to get too small to read comfortably. Page zoom, with a scrollwheel and the mouse staying stationary over the Next Page button, and I couldn't help but devour the comics that were openly available.

Pros

Sounds like a good idea, but...

Cons

...would not install on Windows XP machine, even from command line.

Summary

A simple, free CBR converter is what I was looking for, and this is not it.
