Display images as they're read from cbz/cbr for Vertical Scroll

[uwuceo]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

You would be able to scroll through images as they're read from disk, without waiting for all of them to load.

This would make for a more pleasant experience, as the first images are displayed faster, and the rest can load while you're on the first couple of images.

An example of this would be YACReader for iOS, which opens chapters without delay, and loads the rest while you're reading, clearing them from memory after it's a distance off-screen.

Scenario when this would be used?

While using Vertical Scroll.

Its already done experimentally.

Its not really possible because of the app's framework,

Can't wait for it to be released then :)

Phones can probably use the extra RAM saved, I don't think it's that important for PC. Faster loading time is all I'm hoping for.

@mienaiyami
I want to ask this before its too late, will the dynamic image loading / lazy loading of images be as an option?
Its not a problem for archive formats if its an option or not, but for folder based images it is.

It is the main feature i added.

Though I still haven't checked everything yet, it's not possible to just read a single image from archives using the tools I use.

I did not understand. So I rephrased the question.

Will this dynamic loading only apply to archives?
Or will it also apply to folder (as chapters) too? (My main concern)
If it is applied to folder (as chapters) without an option the stutter/scrolling might happen.

Archives cant be loaded dynamically. They must be extracted first, as of now,

It can be enabled from settings and is not enforced.

Cool. Thanks.

As I said above, I can't load single files from archives using the current tools, so this request is not possible unfortunately.
However, I have added dynamic loading for folder type, to show chapter instantly.
