Comic reader skips pages in single-page mode on iPhone

When reading CBZ/CBR comics on iPhone in single-page mode, every other page is inaccessible. The comic reader groups pages into spreads for 2-page display, but in single-page mode navigation still jumps by group instead of by individual page, making the second page of each pair unreachable.

Affects: iPhone (narrow layout where single-page mode is used)
Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a CBZ file on iPhone
  2. Set layout to single page
  3. Navigate through pages — notice every other page is skipped

Fixed in three commits shipping in the next update:

  1. Single-page navigation now steps through every page individually instead of jumping by spread groups. The root cause was that pages were always paired internally, even when the display showed one page at a time.

  2. Hidden macOS system files (__MACOSX resource forks, dot-files, Thumbs.db) inside CBZ archives are now filtered out. These were being counted as pages, causing blank pages and shifted reading progress.

  3. The RTL reading direction toggle is now persisted per book, so manga remembers its setting between sessions.

This has been fixed. The comic reader now correctly navigates every page in single-page mode on iPhone. The fix will be included in the next release.
