Thanks for the feedback! I've added Github Issues for all your tickets. Feel free to comment on theme - either here on on the actual issues on Github.

I already have splashscreen for Harmattan & BB10, so modifying it for Fremantle should be easy.

This is actually a known issue, caused by a limitation of the FolderListModel:

But it looks like there are some workarounds, so it should be fixable.

While a better solution is made, would be greatly apreciated.

Here is my script to download from mangareader

It's ugly but works for me...

Requires to install:
bash
wget

Takes for argument a url of any mangareader manga page.
Keeps downloading from there, untill the last page of the las chapter available for that manga.

Code:
./mangareader.sh http://www.mangareader.net/111-3640-1/20th-century-boys/chapter-1.html
Thanks! I want to eventually integrate something like this directly to Mieru, with backends for the various online manga libraries. As there seem to be quite a lot of online manga readers on other platforms, it should be quite doable.

BTW, I'll probably start with supporting Batato & Manga Access, as all others seem to convert all their content to JPEG with horrible compression artifacts everywhere.
