ok. Autocropping is working, the UI has had many improvements, and I restored the option to use the older (0.9.0), faster image filter which I think gives better, higher-contrast results (even if the letters are a bit jaggied). Also, there's new install/uninstall scripts which put an option in the context menu when you right-click a pdf (so specifying input/output files isn't annoying).

I started working on writing an image filter for imagemagick, but hit another snag. Imagemagick is slow. Incredibly slow. Half an hour per page slow. So i'll have to find something else.

Anyway, I'm calling this 1.0 beta 1. Let me know any bugs!


Todo: Get quarter-page mode working (like the iliad). Figure out a better image filtering method (sigh). And see if the context menu works for everyone (it might have a weird dependency on Adobe Reader).
EDIT: playing with it some more I've concluded that the double-res (0.9.6) mode hurts contrast and isn't usually desirable. I'll see if I can add some contrast-enhancing step somewhere, but I should've made the UI more clear that it isn't usually better..
