The main reason of allow page rotation is a quality of most of scanned DjVu's (I have a lot of semi-pro Russians DjVu OCR-people friends) I don't think a single frame rotation will be useful for em.

Try to move frames with Ctrl/Alt keys pressed. I know the lack of documentation is the worst point of JAP:-(

) Do a separate dialog, like in Acrobat, for when you want to apply the same frames to all even pages or simply all pages. It's kind of weird that you can't crop all pages the same way, also it was surprising/unintuitive at first that all changes would be automatically propagated.

Unfortunatelly the frames number settings came not from a plain theory but from practice (Andy, avv from e-book.org is a co-author and main tester & user of JAP. I'm not using JAP at all). Also the some algorithms in JAP should use a concrete numbers of frames instead of NN (my bad).

It's not so easy. Some documents have a "artistic" template (like a header shifted a few inches left/right). I decide to give a choice to user. But, anyway, you have a button to do autocropping (only for odd & even pages).

I forgot to announce some hidden features of JAP (already printed at the-ebook.org). I'll add one (only one!) more dialog to configure JAP in the future but I'll prefer simplified interfaces.

I have no problem to post sources but for some reasons (I can tell you why - the "heart" of JAP is the open source Graphics32 lib) JAP was written on Borland Delphi. If you interested of source code just le me know at sens at verizon dot net. Also JAP providing a very simple plugins API (C++ sources available too)
