[plugin][convert pdf to cbz] in menu bar

[shizen]

Hello,

i post (but in plugin section, sorry) my plugin to convert pdf to cbz.
here : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=370277

V3 :

- Button in the user interface with menu for configuration
- Select the calibre lines and press the button

- Use PyPdf provided in the plugin's zip file
- PNG or JPG option (compression for jpg)
- add option "size" (comics, manga, european) for choose size if not detected (dimension in pixel is not changed, so it's not so important)
- Skips the file if there's no PDF or if a CBR or CBZ file already exists (don't replace)
- Extracts each page in image and places them one image per page in a CBZ file (assuming one image per page).
- image's name begin with the 30 first letters of the title (without special character)
- Adds the CBZ file to the calibre file format in the PDF as another format
- if the dimension is higher than 30cm the dpi is adjust to fit in 30 cm without changing resolution.

In the options, you can choose the conversion method:
- Method 1: Processes each file one after the other in the main process
- Method 2: Processes the files in parallel, still in the main process
- Method 3 : add each conversion to the calibre tasks (need update).

If you have a problem, switch to debugger mode and give me the calibre-debud-log.txt file (entry starting with pdftocbz: ).
Be careful, the png version can be very large.

test and give me bug or thing to adjust.

if you have problem (linux or mac, arm or x86), test V3 and v2

V3 :
- replace pymupdf by pypdf in pure python so less compatibility problem
- add compression option for jpg
- add option "size" (comics, manga, european) for choose size if not detected (dimension in pixel is not changed, so it's not so important)
- replace some french by english

V2 :
- put all pymupdf whl in zip for compatibility (win, linux, mac, arm, x86_64 ) but the zip will be bigger. he detect the system and extract the good one
link V2
if someone can test before I put in release version ?

work in progress :
- detect size of pdf (in inch or cm) to fix dpi
- better handling task
- add translation if someone want


V1

- Button in the user interface with menu for configuration
- Select the calibre files and press the button

- Use pymupdf/fitz provided in the plugin's zip file
- PNG or JPG option (compression 95 for jpg)
- Skips the file if there's no PDF or if a CBR or CBZ file already exists
- Extracts each image from each page and places them one image per page in a CBZ file (assuming one image per page).
- image's name begin with the 20 first lettre of the title (without special caracter)
- Adds the CBZ file to the calibre file in the PDF as another format
- if the dimension is higher than 30cm the dpi is adjust to fit in 30 cm without changing resolution.

In the options, you can choose the conversion method:
- Method 1: Processes each file one after the other in the main process
- Method 2: Processes the files in parallel, still in the main process
- Method 3 : add each conversion to the calibre tasks.


add v1 in attachment here to keep history

Hi shizen,

I'd love to use your plugin, however I get the following error:
