Hi lilman,
Just got a kindle 3 and was trying out different manga conversion programs (mangle and calibre) and was about to write my own since they didn't do everything I want, when I happened to find Canti which nearly does everything.
Great program! Really love the auto splitting and the new option to include the unsplit-landscape image. The auto compressing to cbz is really awesome too.
I just have a few issues:
- Is there an option to add white borders to an image to fill it to the target size (like on Mangle, so the image is always eg 600x800)?
- For the landscape splitting, would it be easy to add an option to extend the width by a user specified amount (ie. a safe zone). So eg if the landscape image is 1000 x 800, and the auto split detection finds a split at 400, could the resultant images be (0, 0) -> (400 + safezone, 800) (1st image) and (400-safezone, 0) -> (1000, 800) (2nd image).
ie. there will be some overlap in both images
- For the suffix, I get a crash if I turn on "use_original_filenames". If I don't turn it on, I don't get a crash, but the folder names are broken.
eg. C:\My Manga Vol 1\Chapter 01
C:\My Manga Vol 1\Chapter 02
C:\My Manga Vol 1\Chapter 03a
C:\My Manga Vol 1\Chapter 03b
Ends up like:
My_Manga_-_Ch
My_Manga_-_Ch.1
My_Manga_-_Ch.2
Crash mentioned above:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String ind
ex out of range: -1

at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source)
at manga.CMFileObject.<init>(CMFileObject.java:49)
at manga.ConvertManga.main(ConvertManga.java:1397)
- also I can't find the "bind.txt" file mentioned in the readme.txt.
- Not sure if it's Canti or not, but while converting to png, Image Magik sometimes randomly crashes (always on a landscape image), if I delete the temp files and run the conversion again, sometimes it works, but mostly still crashes.
Sorry for the long post, and Thanks for the wonderful program. Currently I'm using Canti initially and then Mangle to do the final conversion (which add's borders). But would love to use Canti alone.
