SUMMARY

When reading comics/manga, sometimes the artist will create a two page spread. When digitally distributed, works may choose to combine a two page spread as a single image. Currently, if Okular encounters one such image in double page mode, it as expected, displays both in double page mode leading to cases like the attached screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open comic with wide image
2. Enable double page mode

OBSERVED RESULT
The wide image is displayed next to the previous/next image

EXPECTED RESULT
The wide image is displayed on its own page

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 35
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

So instead of “Facing pages” and “Facing pages (center first page)” you would need a “Facing pages (smart)” mode?

I guess you could put it like that.

Something along the veins of how yacreader and mcomix/mcomix3 do it.
