I'm having a rough time with this program. I'm converting for a DXG, so I'm using 1200 and 824 (Yes, I have the numbers in the right boxes.). It seems to want to rotate portrait images when It's not supposed to. I tried it on lower resolutions, and it isn't as bad, but I still have a couple of images that get rotated by mistake.
Theres also this weird problem that happens when it does rotate in this way. In the case where it rotates when its not supposed to, the picture gets scaled to 1200 height AFTER its rotated. This means that the width ends up being something around 1700, regardless of the 800 pixel limit. I'll wait a bit longer for this program. |

Edit: Screw it, new version with bugfixes, full multithreading now available in OP. (Custom settings and saving of settings will be in the next release) psycholoner check it out and if the images are still falsely rotated, could you please PM one of the to me, to see what the problem is?

I'd gladly take better default settings though, if you would find them. |

I am already saving images as PNG8, I think (8 bits per pixel, right?)... Would seems to be a problem in the Kindles handling of sub 8 bit depth images (just retried and the same thing happened, horrible quality on kindle fine on windows). Oh, I hope you don't mind me attaching the pngcrush.exe, didn't ask if I could
Updated OP with new version, found bug that prevented generation of bookkeeping files. Edit: My bugfix had a bug in it. version 2 of 0.26 is in OP. Also added the last two versions in case there are more bugs in the latest. Last edited by Honf; 03-22-2011 at 12:39 PM. |

You should make the created images only use the the 16 colours that the Kindle supports http://kindlesavers.com/resources/ho...-screensavers/
The Kindle handles 4 bit depth gifs depth much better (Although there may be a problem with 3.1 and gifs, not really sure), they are smaller and have the same quality as pngs. |

I checked when it first came out and and I just rechecked the sample images now with gimp and it isn't using the Kindle colour scheme.
Just want to mention the new version of Canti was just released and it has panel shrinking now and much more. http://www.bitcake.com/?entry=entry110322-143300 Last edited by mobad; 03-22-2011 at 03:04 PM. |

Check example 2. Example 1 is broken (converted the kindle table you linked a little wrong ).
Edit: Hm, seems Canti and Mangize are going to be in a feature battle. Good, competition helps drive development Canti for crossplatform, Mangize for speed Last edited by Honf; 03-22-2011 at 03:12 PM. |

Version 0.3 released. Check OP.
- added progress bar - updated user interface - exposed more settings to user, should make it compatible with a lot more devices now - added ability to save your settings - fixed landscape rotation bug (caused some images to be falsely rotated, reported by psycholoner) If the program crashed for anyone when they try to convert, please sent me the image it crashes on and the settings.ini file that gets created by mangize. I had to do a major re haul of the code and I fear some bugs inevitably creped in. |

New version in OP, should fix the problem. If it doesn't could you PM me a sample picture? Much easier to track down bugs that way |

Hey there Honf,
great little app you wrote, thanks a bunch! Just some quick questions and suggestions: 1) At this point Mangize doesn't support archives, does it? Because I get an empty XYZ_Processed folder when trying to convert zipped chapters. 2) When opening a file/folder it would be nice to remember the last position. 3) An option to convert pngs to jpegs would be nice - to save some additional space. Or is the output image quality of the jpegs substantially inferior to png? regards and keep up the good work! bearmann |
