Dex-Starr

With test and code of crimson red,
Ripped from a program so freshly dead,
Together with our comics collate,
We'll sort you all, that is your Fate!

Dex-Starr helps sort and organize your comic collection by using the information stored in ComicInfo files.
It also formats all your digital comics into a single format (cbz or cb7), adds and/or updates the supported list of Info files.
