[jomic-developers] Some additions

[Jon E. <eis...@gm...>]

Hi guys, I've been using FFView/Comical/what have you for a while, but never
felt quite comfortable in them. I just gave Jomic a shot a few days ago, and
decided that this is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, with a few
minor differences.

So, I checked out the code and I'm making some minor additions for myself,
and will be passing them back upstream if they're things that other people
might want.

My plan is for the following:

- Switch space from an automatic next-page to a large page scroll that jumps
to the next page if the page is already at the end. (Currently at 30
'clicks'.) So that, for instance, if the comic you're reading is 90 clicks
long, hitting space 3 times will take you to the next page.

- Horizontal scrolling (somehow find a way around that JScrollBar
limitation)

- "Draggable" scrolling -- that is, if you click and drag the image, it
moves a new section in 'frame'.

What would be the preferred way of contributing this code?

That's the spirit!

I've seen you already added a patch, which incidentally is the 
preferred way of contributing. Thanks!

I've been meaning to add these features myself for quite a while, so 
this contribution is very welcome. Currently I'm preparing the release 
of version 0.9.27 but I'll look into the patch once the release is out.

Cheers, Thomas.
