Peruse

A comic book reader app

This is an application for reading comic books distributed in various digital formats. It is based on KDE's Frameworks 5, and the UI is built using Qt Quick 2.

File discovery is done using Baloo when available and enabled, and otherwise through a simple file system digger. The Baloo method is both faster and more featureful, and you should be using that whenever possible.
