Version 4.5 is out!
Added simple ComicRack metadata editor
Great, this is what I was looking for.

I recently bought a Kindle and have been using KCC virtually everyday for two weeks, enjoying the resulting MOBI quality on my Kindle screen, while on the other hand struggling to figure out how to append simple metadata (author, series and volume) with other software without corrupting the files.

The basic editor looks fine, however I was victim of few issues when I tried the following:

- Added directory of images in KCC, made a CBZ of it.
- Added resulting CBZ in KCC, edited metadata (Author, Series, Volume) with built-in Simple Metadata Editor.
- Convert edited CBZ to MOBI (with "Ultra/High Quality" checkbox marked).

The job was marked as successfully finished; however, when I tried to reach the file, Windows Explorer was ultra slow and Task Manager wouldn't come up. I had to force a windows restart.

After that, I found the MOBI file and noticed it was suspiciously small in size (24 MB instead of 70 MB I had previously experienced with other manga volumes similar in size I had previously converted).

Transfered MOBI file to Kindle using Calibre. Metadata was OK and book opened, but Panel View was broken.

Maybe KCC Folder-to-CBZ creation does stuff to the images that should not be re-done during a CBZ to MOBI conversion?

I guess if you want to use the Simple Metadata Editor, the user should NOT use KCC-created CBZ as source files, but instead prepare CBZ manually with Zip utility.

However thanks for the great tool
