    I still hope you’ll bring back the Page List Drawer. ;p

    Ah yes, it seems like not too many people know about Simple Comic right now. (correct me if I’m wrong)
    Heck, I only found it through Wikipedia. (by searching Comic Book Archive file)

    May I suggest submitting it to Apple Downloads?
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/
    (although I see it’s already on VersionTracker and MacUpdate)

    Also, I’ve found a little inconsistency:
    Since Page Up/Down scrolls within the page, you’d expect Home/End to scroll to the top/bottom of the page.
    Instead, Home/End jumps to the first/last page.
    I think since Cmd Left/Right = prev./next page,
    then it’d make more sense if Cmd Home/End would jump to the first/last page,
    and just Home/End would scroll to the top/bottom, which is more consistent with Page Up/Down’s behavior.
    (And perhaps Cmd Page Up/Down = prev./next page to be consistent?)

    Well, that’s my 2 cents.

    Thanks for your time!

    You are quite right about Apple downloads. I never use it so I had not considered it…

    I think I will treat page up and down like I do the spacebar right now. If page down is pressed when a page has already scrolled down as far as it will go a page turn will occur.

    Got another suggestion.

    Right now, the only view where you can zoom in/out is “Original Size.” In “Fit to Window” and “Horizontal Fit,” you cannot zoom at all.

    It’d be nice if there weren’t this limitation on the 2 other views. Like in image or PDF viewers, where you can choose “fit to window,” but you can still adjust the zoom afterwards.

    That’s my little suggestion.

    Once again, thanks for your time!
