Description Andrew de Quincey 2009-02-10 20:45:35 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

In the GRk program "comix", if you have a directory full of chapters of a comic in CBR/CBZ files, you can open one and page through the pages. When the end of the current CBR/CBZ is reached and you move to the "next" page, comix will automatically open the next file alphabetically in the directory and display it.

Okular does not do this: when you reach the end of the current CBR/CBZ you are forced to manually open the next one. This is rather annoying for comics with lots of chapters (e.g. I have some with 250 individual CBZ files). I'd rather NOT simply merge them together because I like having the chaptures, and it can also take a long time to open such a large comic initially. 

So: I'm looking for some kind of way to automatically open the next alphabetic file when moving to the next page at the end of a file.

*sigh* I mean "GTK program comix" obviously.
