Title: Hap Hazard Comics #14
Post by: ejpetrie on May 08, 2016, 02:56:24 PM

The pages on this one appear to display nicely on the DCM site, but appear in scrambled order when downloaded.  I've never seen that before.

The pages are in proper order for me reading with CDisplay.
Perhaps you could try a different app?

The problem appears to be that the first 29 scans use a hyphen to separate their job designation title of "HAP" from their assigned page order number, appearing as HAP-01, HAP-02, etc.  This would be fine, but scans 30 to 52 eliminated the hyphen.  This inconsistency reveals that the old CDisplay program was written to ignore the hyphen character (and possibly any other non-alpha-numeric entry) while the newer CDisplayEx program correctly views it as a sortable character.  Who knew?!

Sorry about that, missed it when I checked the files. I've uploaded a corrected file (with fixed in title) without the hyphen. I usually don't use spaces, periods or hyphen for file names, just got caught up in other projects :D  Should work now, thanks for the catch ejpetrie.

Thanks CB!
I uploaded a fixed version as well before I saw you had.  Oh well.

I'm glad EJ let us know about the problem,
