Hello,

I'm trying to import comics from an external drive via the Files App but when I go to the folder containing the files - all the .CBR and .CBZ files are greyed out. I've restarted the device and reinstalled the YACReader App and they're still greyed out.

Currently using an iPad Pro 12.9" (4th Generation)
Software Version 15.1
YacReader Version 3.18.1

Do you have any other comic apps installed?

I've found that some apps claim cbz and cbr as proprietary file types and other apps have to include the UTI they are using, I already did this with other app, so a list of comic apps in your device would be helpful to try to see if this is the problem.

Just moved over from Comic Zeal last night. I will delete Comic Zeal, re-install YacReader, and restart my iPad to see if it works

Removing Comic Zeal and re-installed YACReader, then re-starting my iPad did the trick!

Thank you!
