Welcome to the ComicZeal Beta
Please read the instructions below carefully. Try to exercise the application as much as you can and let us know what worked and what didn't.
It's specially important you tell us if things went ok!

- Replaced last of the placeholder graphics with final.

3/8 (2.52.4)
-Covers are now shown if 'show boxes' is set to off in the Settings App.
-Moving/Deletion dialog no longer flashes during operations.

- Shadows no longer appear in the wrong place landscape comics.
- Edit mode is cancelled when the formatting button is pressed, the view is changed, or the edit toolbar is hidden.
- Switching between pages now hides the tools and configuration toolbar except for when switching to the 'Featured' tab, where the tools is forcibly shown to reveal the SyncDocs button.
- The button to select the configuration with a thumbnail and comic name has been moved back to the left.
- All the toolbars are hidden while SyncDocs is operational.
- The Edit and Move buttons no longer show the number of comics selected for the last edit operation (again!).
Installing ComicZeal:
ComicZeal Beta Download
Download the ComicZeal software from the above link.
In the archive you'll find a file called ComicZeal.ipa that should be used by MS Windows users, the other is an application bundle called 'ComicZeal' to be used by Mac users.
The archive also contains the distribution certificate, called 'bitolithic_adhoc.mobileprovision'.
To install the ComicZeal beta start up iTunes, go to the 'Applications' section (select from the left) and drag and drop the certificate and application on to the main section of the iTunes window. This process is the same for both Mac and Windows.
If there is no applications section showing in your iTunes you can enable it in the 'General' pane of the preferences window.
When iTunes has finished processing the files, connect and sync your device to move ComicZeal across to it.
