I just thought about it after I actually downloaded a Waffles comic pack...
You know how all those comics are in .cbr or .cbz format
The formats are actually a Comic Book Archive file and its a type of archive file for the purpose of sequential viewing of images, especially comic books.
The most popular tool to view these things is Cdisplay ( CDisplay Comic Reader (http://web.archive.org/web/20071011003226/http://www.geocities.com/davidayton/CDisplay.html) )
The best tool however is Comicrox ( ComicRack (http://comicrack.cyolito.com/) )
Comic Book Archive files mainly consist of a series of image files, typically PNG (lossless compression) or JPEG (lossy compression) files, stored as a single archive file. The file extension indicates the archive type used:
* .cbr → RAR
* .cbz → ZIP
You can just change the file extension to make them rar or zip and extract the pics accordingly....
Anyway thats neither here nor there....
The point being,file extensions cannot be changed just like that...
So here's a quick little tutorial on how to do it
1.The first thing to do is open Windows Explorer (or My Computer) and view the file you wish to change.
2.Click Folder Options, in the dialog box change to the View tab and look for Hide extensions for known files and uncheck it and click OK.
Now all your files have extensions displayed along with filenames so when you want to change a file extension you can just change the letter part after the . (dot) in the filename.
Simple...
