Cropping of borders on older scanned comics
Hi,
I appreciate the software, and use it a great deal. I'm currently converting for use with my Kobo Aura One (keeping cbz format). I find the border cropping works fairly well on newer "digital" comics (though page numbers can cause issues) but it doesn't seem to work at all with older comics that were scanned. I wondering if there is a setting I can adjust or if I have to keep manually cropping the borders before processing with kcc. I sometimes read on a tablet with comic rack and it has no problems cropping the borders on these same scanned comics... Thanks! |

Margin detection algorithm is hit and miss. Cropping on default settings will probably fail when margins are grainy.
CLI version of KCC have options to modify cropping power. |

I finished my analysis of new manga features added in 5.8.5.
Unless Amazon publish some additional tools or there will be major breakthrough in KFX reverse engineering don't expect pinch zoom and ultra fast page changing features soon. Only way to enable them is create fixed layout KFX files and there is no publicly available way to do that. |

onverted HQs
Hello friends
I have converted some HQs that are in jpg format with the Stretch / Upscale option active, and they look great. I would like to know the best configuration to convert HQs in CBZ and CBR format? Thank you |

I miss the option of PNG output, was useful for create a .mobi file smaller without having to split the final file.
Now i tryed to download a older version but can't find the version i was using, not even on the official website or GitHub :'( Where can i download a older version? |

Difference of size was symbolic in most of cases. KindleGen reconverted PNGs to JPEGs anyway...

Hey I used your app a lot and it's great. But I recently updated it to 5.2 and I saw you removed HQ zoom, it was very usefull for my Kindle since the zoom got, well, HQ...
Is there a way to download the 5.1.3 or compile the windows app from your source code (I'm a programming noob). Thanks |

This mode required extremely high quality source files to make any difference on new Kindle models. In most causes it done nothing.
I suggest you to check 2 panel view mode. Last edited by AcidWeb; 12-20-2016 at 09:52 AM. |

Because the difference of size was huge (in a 90MB .cbz, ~80MB with HQZ, and ~25MB without HQZ) and I saw a lot of difference when "double tapping" for zooming the comic. I will try the 2 panel anyways, but please consider putting the HQ Zoom back just as an extra function, you can also hide this option until you check something in the Preferences menu like "advanced mode" or "labs". Thanks Edit: also, now the files are back to the size I mentioned without HQZ (~25MB), and 2 panel view had no effect at all when zooming . Last edited by geninchuni; 12-20-2016 at 11:03 PM. |

Great tool, thanks!
One problem I am having is getting the covers to appear with this hack: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195474 I am converting CBR/CBZ to MOBI and sideloading them to my Kindle PW3. The thumbnail cover appears, but that hack doesn't seem to recognize the cover to display as a screensaver. Has anyone who uses both this tool and that hack had any success with the covers showing as screensavers? Edit: The problem file I was using was very large, around 300mb. I tried a much smaller comic using this tool and had no problems with the ScreenSaver Hack. So, I don't think it is any problem with this tool, but a problem with the ScreenSaver Hack. If anyone DID get the ScreenSaver Hack to work with large MOBIs output by this converter, let me know! Last edited by CheeseJam; 12-28-2016 at 10:27 PM. |
