Right-to-left is more than reversing the arrow keys
In a two-page spread, the earlier page belongs on the right. The cover is usually a single page, so pairing has to start after page one, not at page one. Getting this wrong makes every spread feel backwards even when the page numbers are correct.
This reader keeps a cover offset in double-page mode, reverses the visual order for RTL, and maps the left tap zone to "next page" when RTL is on. The arrow keys follow the same rule.
How the direction is chosen
- If ComicInfo.xml contains Manga = YesAndRightToLeft, the file opens in RTL mode.
- Otherwise the reader starts left to right.
- The RTL button in the toolbar overrides the guess for the current session.
- Your choice is saved with the reading progress for that file.
Double-page spreads
Double-page mode is available on wide screens and can be toggled at any time. The cover is displayed alone by default, then pages pair as 2-3, 4-5, and so on. If a spread looks wrong, switch to single-page mode; automatic wide-page detection is planned but not part of this version.
