[Plugin] Dynamic Panel Zoom (Panel-by-Panel navigation for Comics & Manga)

[JorgeTheFox]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a new plugin I've been working on to improve the comic reading experience on smaller E-Ink devices (like 6" readers).

While KOReader's native "Panel Zoom" is great, the constant need to exit the zoom mode, pan to the next panel, and long-press again really breaks the immersion. To fix this, I created Dynamic Panel Zoom.

How it works:
Once activated, the plugin analyzes the current page, detects the bounding boxes of the panels, and allows you to navigate directly from one zoomed panel to the next using your standard next/previous page gestures.

Key Features:
True panel-by-panel navigation without leaving zoom mode.
On-the-fly detection: Works directly with your CBZ/PDF files. No need to pre-process them on your PC using KCC (Kindle Comic Converter).
Manga Support: Fully respects Right-To-Left (RTL) reading directions if enabled in your document settings.

To install: Simply extract the dynamic_panelzoom.koplugin folder from the release zip into your KOReader plugins/ directory and restart the device.

It's still in its early stages, but it's fully functional and has completely changed how I read comics on my device. Any feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions from the community are more than welcome!
