Until recently Simple Comic has relied on hard paths to find files for its session restore system. With the advent of a more comprehensive bookmark manager I felt the need to look into a less fragile way of locating files. Simple Comic now uses BDAlias, which is a wrapper class for OS-X’s alias manager.
So what does this mean for the end user?
Archives can now be freely moved around in the filesystem and Simple Comic will still find them. Archives can even be renamed.
There is a slight architectural problem with loose images, so they still rely on hard paths. Though that too should be fixed in the near future.

Fantastic feature.Very cool! Definitely working on my machine … even after the file type is changed (from folder to a .cbr)
