Describe your suggested feature

I'd like OpenComic to have a "Recently Read" section that shows individual comics (files/volumes) that were opened recently, sorted by last open time (most recent first).

Problem When reading multiple comics interchangeably (switching between titles rather than finishing one at a time), it's hard to keep track of what was read last. The current "Continue Reading" prompt only appears when entering a library folder, and doesn't provide a persistent, global view of recently read comics.

Proposed Solution Add a "Recently Read" view accessible from the main library interface (e.g. sidebar or top-level section), which:

Lists individual comic files/volumes (not folders).
Sorted by last open time — most recent first.
Shows cover thumbnail, title, reading progress, and last read time for each entry.
This is similar to the "Continue Reading" / "Recently Played" feature in most media apps (streaming platforms, ebook readers, etc.).

Why this matters A global "Recently Read" view would make it much easier to switch between multiple comics and quickly resume where you left off, regardless of folder structure.
