Description: This library not support cbz, cbr and cbt. For support this files, install "ComicBook Thumbnail Plugin". - Included in KDE from ver 4.4.
A cb7 thumbnail plugin for the K Desktop Environment (KDE 4). Licensed under GPL, v3.
Uses the KDE4's KIO::ThumbCreator class to add a service that provides previews for cb7 files (.cb7).
See INSTALL for information on installing the plugin.
USAGE =====
To see it in action, open Dolphin and set the previews to on. Or hover over a .cb7 file to see the preview in the Information panel.
If you want to turn on/off the previews for comic books, go to "Dolphin > Settings > Configure Dolphin... > General > Previews" and check/uncheck the "Comic Books (cb7)" plugin in it.
NOTES ===== * In some cases, you have to increase the Maximum File Size limit (~40 MB) in the configuration dialog to make certain previews work.

Hi,
How common are cb7 files? Do you think this would be valuable upstream? (Merge it with the default kde thumbnailer)
I'm planning to improve the thumbnailers in KF5 and we could move cb7 support in the normal comiccreator. Also if you need help porting to KF5 take a look at the kio-extras repository. I have already ported most of the thumbcreators so lot's of examples there.
It's fine if you want to keep this a personal project of course :)
Have a nice day.
Hi,
"How common are cb7 files?" - more then cba :), and also it depends of user.
This project was created because my disk was too small and I simply repack cbz and cbr to cb7.
"I'm planning to improve the thumbnailers in KF5 and we could move cb7 support in the normal comiccreator." - it is very desirable.
"Also if you need help porting to KF5 take a look at the kio-extras repository ... of course :)"
I take a look and seems that 7z is finally integrated with KArchive (K7Zip) so adding should be very easy - http://pastebin.com/XSLjeJXh.
Sorry for English.
