<p>Chowbok: Adding registered mime types</p> <hr /> <div>{{FormatInfo<br /> |formattype=electronic<br /> |subcat=Electronic Publishing formats<br /> |extensions={{ext|cbz}}, {{ext|cbr}}, {{ext|cbt}}, {{ext|cba}}, {{ext|cb7}}<br /> |mimetypes={{mimetype|application/vnd.comicbook+zip}}, {{mimetype|application/vnd.comicbook-rar}}, {{mimetype|application/x-cbr}}<br /> }}<br /> A '''Comic Book Archive''' is a standardized way of storing and transferring scanned-in [[Comics|comic books]] so that they may be read in reader software designed for this sort of thing.<br /> <br /> The format is fairly simple. First you take the scanned images of each page of the comic (usually in [[PNG]] or [[JPEG]], but [[TIFF]], [[GIF]], and [[BMP]] have been used) and give them filenames that sort in order of the page number (e.g., 0001.png, 0002.png, etc.). Then compress them into an archive using [[ZIP]], [[RAR]], [[Tape Archive|TAR]], [[ACE]], or [[7z]]. Finally, change the file extension to signify a comic book archive:<br /> <br /> * '''.cbz''' for [[ZIP]] format<br /> * '''.cbr''' for [[RAR]] format<br /> * '''.cbt''' for [[Tape Archive|TAR]] format<br /> * '''.cba''' for [[ACE]] archive<br /> * '''.cb7''' for [[7z]] archive<br /> <br /> There are hence a number of combinations of archivers and graphic formats which may be in use, though not all reader programs necessarily support all of them.<br /> <br /> While the format is designed for comic books, it has been used by the Internet Archive to store archived scans of various magazines. Their scans use TIFF format and the file size can be huge (gigabytes for a single issue); these might not load properly in a typical comic-book viewing program.<br /> <br /> If all else fails, you can always open one of these files in the appropriate archiver (possibly renaming its file extension to fool the program or operating system into associating it with the correct archive format) and extract the graphic files, which may then be worked with using any program handling their format.<br /> <br /> == Programs and utilities ==<br /> * [http://comical.sourceforge.net/ Comical (open source reader; Linux/Mac/Windows)]<br /> * [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rookiestudio.perfectviewer Perfect Viewer (Android)]<br /> * [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onioncomic&amp;hl=en Onion Comic Viewer (Android)]<br /> * [https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/comicbooklover/id351623583?mt=8 Comic Book Lover (iOS)]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_book_archive Comic book archive (Wikipedia)]<br /> * [http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php?topic=1808.0 Comic book archive FAQ (Digital Comic Museum)]<br /> * [http://techie-buzz.com/softwares/comical-comic-book-viewer.html Using a comic book viewer and not growing up]<br /> <br /> [[Category:ZIP based file formats]]</div>
