Need a good slideshow viewer that can view pictures with Japanese filenames/folders.

I'm having some trouble viewing a few of my mangas. I really don't want to use Windows' slideshow viewer because it blows. I like to use Irfanview because it lets me completely control the slideshow with the mouse (I'm that lazy), using the left button to go back a pic, the right button to go forward (or the mouse wheel slider for the same effect), and the middle mouse button for taking the pic out of fullscreen in case the text is too small and I need to zoom.

The problem is that Irfanview doesn't support anything but roman headers, filenames, and foldernames. The same goes for two other viewers I tried: XNview and CDisplay. I just get an error and it won't open the pics - yet Windows' Picture and Fax viewer works just fine.....

Are there any slideshow viewers with the aforementioned mouse features that can also view pictures with Japanese headers?

N/M, I just found out Irfanview added other language supports recently. Simply had to download the Japanese DLL for it. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth!

My favorite (and IMO the best) manga viewer is MangaMeeyaCE.

...the only problem is the project got shut down for a GPL violation so 2.4Beta is the last version that will ever be released.
