Where Does MComix Store Its Library?

MComix keeps library and reading progress in per-OS config with books you open. Keep folder trees identical everywhere.

Last updated

MComix stores library state and reading progress in per-OS config locations. Comic files stay where your collection lives. Bookmarks reference those paths.

Back up config for progress plus comics for content. Exact filenames vary by release, so confirm inside prefs when paths differ. Keep folder trees identical across machines.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move an MComix library?

Copy the MComix config folder with the app closed plus your comic folders. Progress and bookmarks travel in config. Books live wherever your library keeps them.

Progress lost after moving folders. Why?

Check the library paths inside the app prefs first. Moved folders break progress links. Repoint the library root after restoring.
