MobileRead Forums - Comic optimizer script

Hi !

I've recently bought a Kobo Touch, and I've made a little script based on 7z and imagemagick to optimize comic scanlation for Kobo.

I hope it could help somebody. It takes comic archive as argument, and should work on any Linux distribution with 7zip and imagemagick installed.

When the script have finished , a new comic archive is created with -kobo suffix.

Code:

#!/bin/sh



TOLERANCE=4%

JPG_QUALITY=75

SIZE=600x800

TMP_DIR=/tmp/koboTest

INPUT_COMIC_TYPE=.cbr



rm -rf $TMP_DIR

mkdir $TMP_DIR

7z e "$1" -o$TMP_DIR



for i in $TMP_DIR/*

do

    convert "$i" -fuzz $TOLERANCE -quality $JPG_QUALITY -resize $SIZE -trim +repage -colorspace gray "$i"

done



7z a -tzip -w$TMP_DIR "`basename "$1" $INPUT_COMIC_TYPE`"-kobo.cbz $TMP_DIR/*

rm -rf $TMP_DIR
