Most of the time the images were only resized a few pixels.. For some reason the Joy of Tech comic that was added uses a pic size that is so small, it is basically unreadable on my machine..
When I was working on comx, I labored to try to find a way to fetch the image dimensions before pulling the image down to have a window that opens to 100% of the contents. Basically it can't be done. The only way to do it was to fetch the image, open the window, place in the image, and then resize the window to fit it. I had this working but that window resizing method was really ugly with the window flashing up and slinging to a new size, especially when 5 or six comics were solicited. This is why I went to the method of setting a fixed size for the weekday comics, and another for the Sunday version. Did you mean to attach a modified comx search? or did you already check in the modified version? Sourceforge appears to be having troubles.. I cannot get in to check to see..
