I do not copy the ini file. This is only required if you make certain changes in your configuration.
I just take a bunch of jpg files that I want to be a comic book, number them and make a rar file using winrar.
I rename the "name.rar" file to "name.cbr", then I feed it to pictods which takes about a minute to make a name.cbds file.
I have tried and failed to make a name.zip, rename it to name.cbz, but pictods cannot unpack the cbz.
This should work, but pictods cannot unpack my .cbz files or most of the .cbr and cbz files I have downloaded.
CDisplay can unpack and display ALL of the .cbr and .cbz files that I have found or made.
Your mileage may vary.
edit: I do not think you can use png files. Just view them with irfanview and save them as jpg's.
You DO NOT have to add anything to your root directory.
You DO have to have ComicBookDS.nds plus one or more cbds files in EACH of your comic folders:
\Comics\B&B
\Comics\SuperHeros
\Comic\VacationSnaps
\More Comics\gf
