Toggle between cover and list view for file browser mode - keyaxer - 05-11-2016

The default for browsing comics using the file browser mode is the cover view. However, if the directory has multiple comics, it is very slow as it needs to preview all of the covers of the comics in the directory. Most of the time I just need to load up a specific issue without knowing what the cover looks like, so a list view would hopefully speed things up. Thanks!

You can try setting cover fetch mode to fastest and see if that helps. It will just display the first image it finds in the archive as the cover rather than look for the actual cover. It is significantly faster at the cost of the fetch accuracy. But ultimately it wont help against folders with thousands of books.

We'll definitely add a list view in the future. Thanks for the suggestion!

No worries. I tried setting it to "fastest", but loading up a 25-issue folder still takes anywhere from 10-30 seconds.
