The file gif4j_pro_trial_2.3.jar has to be in the same folder (on the same level) as manga2cbz.jar.

Now you can choose between nothing, rotate or split (or both ^^). It splits the images to the greatest possible multiple of 768. For example images with a width between 1536 (2*768) and 2303 (3*768-1) will be split in two, from 2304 and above in three and so on. I'm not sure if this makes sense though.

I will maybe try to implement that. It might be a little bit difficult depending on the given file/directory structure...

You mean 1024x768? Now you could choose that in the configuration.
I know, the selection criterion for rotation is somewhat stupid (rotate if width>height).

Ok, rotation is optinal now.

What do you mean with "baseline"? JPG can now be chosen in the config.
