>>> You can enable much better compression (color depth reduction with Floyd-Steinberg dithering) by downloading the file 'gif4j_pro_trial_2.3.jar' from
http://www.gif4j.com/download.htm and putting it into the same directory. <<<
Usage: Just double click the jar to see the "GUI"
Or by console: java -jar manga2cbz.jar sourceFileOrDir destinationDir Title
XML configuration tags:
---
cropThreshold: 1 - 255 (255 means completely white)
threads: 1 - 16 (0 = automatic)
splitLandscape: Works only if picture width is at least 2x screen width. LEFT = reading from left to right, RIGHT = reading from right to left, OFF = disabled
rotateLandscape: Works only if picture width is bigger than picture height. CW = clockwise, CCW = counterclockwise, OFF = disabled
type: JPG or PNG
grayLevels: 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 (smaller than 256 only works with the gif4j library)
Entering wrong values causes the whole config file to be reset to default.

This is still an early version. It may contain bugs and I won't take responsibility for damage of your hard- and software or any data loss.
I tested it with a folder containing several rar files, which them-selfs contained further directories and a mix of png and jpgs, totally about 1000 pages (220mb). It took ~10min to unpack, convert and repack them on my Athlon 4400 (cbz size 138mb).
Please share your suggestions for improvement here.
Enjoy!
