Komic, a Kindle comic reader
****************COMPATIBILITY**************** The actual version (V2.3) works on Kindle Touch 5.3.2 and following (not previous) firmwares. As regards Paperwhite, Komic doesn't support it OTB. SHORT VERSION: KOMIC V2.1 (AND PREVIOUS) ==> KINDLE TOUCH 5.1.2 AND PREVIOUS KOMIC V2.2 (AND FOLLOWING) ==> KINDLE TOUCH 5.3.2 (AND FOLLOWING) *************************************** ****************README**************** This WAF is made to be integrated with KUAL. You need to jailbreak your Kindle and to install KUAL. If anyone wants to work on it and make it better, just post the results here for everyone. Old versions can be found here. I'm not responsible for bricks (I even don't know how they can happen, this WAF is safe), file deletions (once again, really unlikely) or any other problem. *************************************** ************HOW TO INSTALL************ 1. Plug your Kindle to your computer 2. Copy update_komic_*.install.bin directly onto the Kindle device (i.e., not into any sub-directory) 3. Restart your Kindle using Menu > Settings, Menu > Update. Please note that upgrading to a new version will keep your bookmarks and your Gallery folder (except when updating to V2.3). On the other hand, uninstalling will delete all Komic folder and Komic folder. ************************************** ************WELCOME PACK************* When installing or upgrading Komic from V2.2 on, you'll find a small =README= folder inside the Gallery folder. Open it with Komic to see a short changelog and a few infos on how to use Komic. You can delete it! ************************************ ************STILL TO DO************* - bring back pinch-to-zoom - handle HOME button (in V2.3 you need to tap CLOSE on the alert when exiting Komic) ************************************ FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, USE THE HELP PAGE INSIDE KOMIC IT TOOK A WHILE TO WRITE IT DOWN IN ITALIAN/ENGLISH, SO PLEASE USE IT!!

KOMIC V1.8 Spoiler:
KOMIC V1.9 Spoiler:
KOMIC V2.0 Spoiler:

Yay! I installed it already. I can't wait to try it out. Got a question that's been on my mind for a while. You said in the past to delete bookmarks once you're done with them to keep some file manageable. What happens if I delete a directory without removing the bookmarks? |

I want to thank you for working on this. This is a great way for me to enjoy my large manga collection on my KT. It works great. Before this, I was converting things to mobi files. This is much more convenient and give a better result.

New version, new topic Thanks
A little suggestion: Can you make it auto-create bookmark when we quit? |

When you delete a folder, the script deletes also the bookmark if present!!
As regards auto saving a bookmark, it could be done! Bookmark could be saved when you return home and/or change a folder. EDIT: Do you prefer to autosave bookmark only when returning home or also when changing folder? Last edited by silver18; 06-21-2012 at 05:50 AM. |

What does the rename script look at when it renames? I got some pretty weird behavior. The files were named 03_001, 03_002, etc. with the credits named as such. The credits were interspersed with the regular pages. Just a FYI. I'll be going back to Mangle to get my double pages automatically rotated. Such is life, huh? Still, great feature to add. Since CBZ/CBR support is uncompressing them on the Kindle, I might as well just do that on my PC--I'm not saving any space. Does that feature take up much space on the kindle? If so, maybe offer a Lite version? Just an idea--no need to have 2 versions if that's too difficult/unwieldy. so much for this. I get to use my touch for the reason I upgraded from my Sony Reader Pocket. Larger screen for manga! |

This time, I can't understand much... Folders delete script removes scheduled folders...I think that, once a folder is removed, than you don't need the related bookmark (if present), so the script removes also the bookmark. Rename script gets a list of folders in /documents/Gallery containing jpg, png, JPG, PNG. Than it gets, for every folder in that list, a list of files and it sorts the list based on the original filename. If the first file of this new list has 0 as filename, it skips that folder. I tried with a list of files named 03_001 to 03_200 and it worked. I can't understand this part: "with the credits named as such. The credits were interspersed with the regular pages". It would be helpful if you could send me a sample! As regards decompression, all the feature takes 170KB. I know it's a slow process...mounting the archive would be faster but I'm working on it. Anyway, I can't understand how this feature could save space. The minimum space required would be the size of the archive (if mounting it. As I'm decompressing it, the space taken is a little bit more). I can't get to use fewer space than the size of the archive! I added mainly because someone asked for it, and because copying CBR/CBZ to the Kindle is easier than decompressing them before copying folders. If I misunderstood anything, please let me know! |

It did the 03_001, 03_002, etc fine. The credits were "credits1" "credits2" etc. I try and keep the scanlation group's credits pages. Instead of being at the end of the directory, the credit pages were irregularly inserted at the beginning
See attached picture for 1 chapter of a typical manga scanlation. I also included a zip file with the first 2 chapters from the title I saw doing this. It's annoying, to say the least. I didn't realize the resources to unzip were so small! I'd think they'd be in the megabyte range. |

Hi silver18! Thank you very much for your hard work! I am really enjoying you app!
Could you please help me with these two files? Komic just creates empty folder after decompressing these archives. Thanks in advance. http://db.tt/Bcq9t8Gw http://db.tt/RyoYrjTV |

If using Windows, change your preferences to display file extensions. That first name ends in: .cbz.zip But it isn't a zip of a zip (cbz) file - just rename it without the '.zip'. Look for a similar (Windows display) problem with the second. |

T == Title V == Volume P == Page X == ? E == Extension Under-bar replacing spaces. File name: TT_TT_VVV_XXX.cbz Created directory name: TT_TT_VVV_XXX Cover name: TT_TTVVV_PP_XXX.jpg Page names: TT_TTVVV_PP_XXX.png So they do sort into page order before adding a leading page number. Adding a leading page number should not changing their sorted order. But you will have to sort them in your code (I admit, I didn't read your code to see if you are already doing that). You can't depend on the contents of the zip (cbz) or rar (cbr) to be in sorted order, the most common order will be "source directory order". Which may or may not be sorted. The unarchive process maintains the order of contents -> ctime order. FAT-32 does not have enough resolution in the time fields for this relationship to be useful. Programming languages "normally" return directory contents in directory order. Where "directory order" depends on the (in *nix) hashed value of the name. When looking at the directory contents from the command line: The *nix list (ls) command normally returns the names in sorted order. You have to pass the "-f" option to see the directory (hash) order. And if the list (ls) command on the Kindle is provided by Busybox, it may or may not be listing files in sorted order, it may or may not have an "-f" option. Translation: The order of the files returned by "ls" may not be the order your program sees them - you will have to sort them. - - - The Title field is "mixed" (bumpy) case and being written to a FAT-32 volume on Linux. So check the mount options of that USB storage area - The mount command without arguments shows what options current file systems have been mounted with: (non-Kindle, but a FAT-32 volume on Linux as an example) Code:
/dev/sde1 on /media/A80E-9247 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks) The result of their choice of options may also have to be dealt with even though these are "long names". Edit: The names are bumpy case, the XXX is not. So a token of some kind? RHN == Right Hand Number == trailing volume number, trailing page number? I.E: Process string right to left, first character sequence describes where the page numbers are at in the string? With that information, then you know how to compute the file name of a page number. No sorting and renaming with a leading sequence number required. Duh... Just guessing. First digital comic book I have ever looked at - mine where on paper.
