[Maischeph]

After you've downloaded a scanlation, what d'you open it with? [img]eek.gif[/img]

Pardon my ignorance, but I've just discovered scanlations and so I've never used them before... [img]rolleyes.gif[/img] I have a Windows ME, just in case that helps answer the question *is stumped**feels really dumb* I'll be eternally grateful to anyone who helps me!! *nodnod* [img]redface.gif[/img]

dont worry i think we all asked one of the questions along the way...i know i did^_^

welcome to the wonderful and corruptable world of sakura-crisis ^_^

alternative to unzipping the scanlations with winzip would be the really wonderful and nice CDisplay programm [img]graemlins/heart.gif[/img] , (linklink); it allows you to view the pictures without using winzip or something similar.
(but I guess it comes down to personal taste if you prefer to have the scanlations unzipped or pictures in a nice tidy new folder ^^)

Oh, yay, thank you all so much for the help! ^_^ And thanks for the nice welcome, too [img]biggrin.gif[/img] *hands out cookies to everyone* I already love s-c, just because there are actually people out there nice enough to do this sort of thing; now all I have to do is get my virtual hands on the mangas and I'll be one happy fangirl [img]tongue.gif[/img]

[Maischeph]

Oh, jeez. Right, I have another question: When they tell you to unzip a file, what does THAT mean??? You'd think I'd never used a computer before! It's not true, I swear...! I've just never actually really totally tried to download anything. Good grief... :S

[Countess D]

well...the technical answer to taht, I do not know, but I think "unzipped" is the term used to openthe zipped folder that contains the scannlations...or something like that [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, and BTW welcome to this lil' fangirl's paradise ^^.

well personally. I think you're better off using WinRAR. It can both compress and uncompress files in both .rar and .zip form. And also, if you download the trial version and you just right click your zip/rar file and go "extract file" and just click "extract". It doesn't go throught the whole lisence agreement thing and such as winzip would. Much more efficient and less time consuming, for those that like to extract zipfiles that is. Well my two cents.
