[GUI Plugin] ComicScissors - comic & manga panel splitter for e-readers

[sprbi]

ComicScissors cuts the panels out of comic and manga pages and repacks them onto pages sized for your e-reader, so they're readable without
zooming.

Features

• Input: CBZ, CBR, CB7, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, PDF
• Output: PDF (works on every e-reader) or CBZ, added to the same book as a new format. The original file is never replaced; if the book already has
  that format, the result is saved as data file data/<name>_repanel.pdf
• Built-in profiles: Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook, Boox, Tolino, reMarkable, Nook, or any custom screen size
• Manga mode (right to left), rectangle-crop fallback
• Optional invisible OCR text layer for dictionary lookup (needs Tesseract)
• Progress with all 6 steps and time remaining in the Jobs window; cancel works

Usage
Add the "Repack for e-reader" button to a toolbar, select comics, click. Settings are in the button's menu.

Requirements
calibre 6.0+, Windows / macOS / Linux (x86_64). Nothing else: PDFs use calibre's bundled Poppler, CBR/CB7 use calibre's unpacker. Tesseract only for the
text layer.

Note on the bundled binary
The plugin contains the native comic-scissors command line tool (Rust, open source). Source, build scripts and CI:
https://github.com/rustsky/comicscissors
It is also usable on its own from the command line.

Installation
