Comix

MComix 0.92 is out and includes the changes I hope you'll give it a try.
Added feedback to their bug tracker if you've any issues.

Short names are great if you can remember them. When it comes to long names
for command line arguments it helps if they are consistent, guessable and
memorable. (If writing scripts I'd use the long names if possible to make
it clearer to anyone else who might have to read and try to understand the
script later.)

Hi I'm the original submiter, I guess it's a little late to answer, but
after some months without response I didn't check the request anymore.

Your changes are fine, and no I don't really use the long names.
Overall I use -m the most, and some fit options as well.

MComix includes a version of this patch with the changes I recommended
(essentially just removing _mode from the names of the command line
arguments)

Anonymous report so not much chance of getting feedback but I'll ask anyway
on the chance I might get a reponse (... any reponse, from anyone
interested in more command line arguements).

I'm considering adding similar command line options like to MComix (a fork
of Comix). As this report is over a year old I'm interested to know:
Are you happy with your patch or if you revised it further?
Were there any features you use more than others?

-m, --manga_mode
Manga mode seems the most useful of all the options. Before opening a file
you would likely know it was manga, and would want to change the mode for a
while without really wanting to change the defaults.

Reviewing the patch I wonder about the choice of command line arguement
names and if you use the long names at all. Usability is important on the
command line too, and having underscores in the names seems unusual and
possible more awkward to type than using a dash. Just "manga" might make a
more memorable easy to guess command line argument, I think it would be
pretty safe to drop mode from the name.

Any suggestions?
Anything other ideas?
(I've already added a --version option)
