This application is made for doujin/manga/comics/novel readers and photographers to manage a collection of zipped image sets , easying their work with sorting files, assigning metedata, searching, and reading online from any device.

As time passes by we accumulate more and more images, saving them individually on disk takes a lot of space, instead zipping each set/folder helps freeing a big chunk of disk space.

Technically speaking we do not save much space by compressing images but instead by reducing unused space in disk blocks: each file does waste some space, so instead of a big number of files wasting precious KiB we only have a single one. This leads to a 10~20% of freed space, YMMV.

In doing so arises the need of an application to easily view these compressed sets of images, in addition to DjMngr there are a miriad of options out there: MComix , FastStone MaxView , ACDsee , and more; but DjMngr has more to offer than a simple viewer!
