What do you mean when you say you "removed the copyright"? Copyright is a legal right granted to the creators of a work. It cannot be "removed".

Hi,
I tried to use the above app to convert my comics, unfortunately I'm getting the following error: Of course I tried to install PIL afterwards (roaming google for hours and typing stuff that I don't understand into Terminal), but I haven't been successful. Is there an easier way to do this? Of course I also tried dropping the unpacked cbz onto the app... same error. Oh and your github link mentions "unrar" and "rarfile". I downloaded both but Im not sure about where to put them. Anyway, thanks for your efforts. If I get this thingy to work it will be the fulfillment of my wildest eBook-reader-dreams! |

I know, installing PIL is not funny at all, and this is the main point for I want to make a redistributable app via py2app.
In the meantime, you can look here for some hints; basicly you have to: Install libjpeg Code:
curl -O http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz tar -xvzf jpegsrc.v8c.tar.gz cd jpeg-8c ./configure make sudo make install cd ../ Code:
curl -O http://ftp.igh.cnrs.fr/pub/nongnu/freetype/freetype-2.4.5.tar.gz tar -xvzf freetype-2.4.5.tar.gz cd freetype-2.4.5 ./configure make sudo make install cd ../ As you get it installed, you should not have anymore that error. Unrar and rarfile.py are included in the droplet, so you should not worry about missing them (I put them in requirements section for the bare python script users). Let me know if it works! |

Hey @ciromattia
Have you taken a look at my previous problem? I'd really like to use your tool. Otherwise I'll try to find the problem myself once I've the time. |

mmm... I tested it on Win7 and it works, did you try with latest version from github? What Python/PIL distributions are you using?

I actually found that exact same page and tried to enter the code (not knowing what it does, of course). It starts working fine, but I get the first error when I get to the "./configure" command. It says "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH". And then if I go with "make" on he simply outputs "-bash: make: command not found". I simply entered line after line? Am I doing something wrong? So I guess I need to get a C compiler (an acceptable one ) and put it somewhere? Last edited by floher; 12-28-2012 at 08:43 AM. |

There was a time when ACDSee (a free program in the Windows 95 era) could batch convert, and batch crop pictures.
Their JPeg image compression was really good as well! High quality for a very low size. Can anyone tell me if the Paperwhite reads jpeg2000? And what is the best format it can read for photo's, graphics, or maps? (Usually maps is .gif, photo's jpeg 2000, and old school graphics either SVT or GIF or compressed TIFF. |

Alright, so I downloaded Xcode, installed it and somehow managed to get the compiler into /usr/bin. Then I tried again installing libjpeg, freetype and PIL following the instructions from the link. And apparently it worked.
Unfortunately now I am getting this error: However, it dropped a .mobi file into the folder and after manually putting it on my kindle... voila! Although panel-view doesn't seem to work (he ignores the middle row of panels and skips right to the third) it's legible just fine in fullscreen. If asked for I could make a before-after pic. It's great, but maybe the error message provides some intel anyway |

getImageFileName() is applied for each file into the root folder and will return none for the folders (the chapters) Am I missing something ? |

@floher i can't see errors in kindlegen output, maybe I left the dialog on for debugging, i check later on github. Unfortunately I don't own a Paperwhite anymore, I ask for a change 3 times with no luck (rainbow panel ) so I sent Amazon back and keep my K3 for the moment I've yet to try if panel view is supported on it, though...

And even if you discontinue support on this little app, thanks a lot! I mean there's some error messages which makes it hard to convert several comics at once, but else it's a great help! |

Hello!
I tried to run you app on Mac OS. But it's too hard. I tried 3 python versions, any kinds of PIL installation, but I still have an error: Code:
MacBook-Air-motomac:~ motomac$ /Users/motomac/Downloads/kcc-master/kcc/comic2ebook.py -p K4 "/Users/motomac/Pictures/manga.cbz" Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/motomac/Downloads/kcc-master/kcc/comic2ebook.py", line 41, in <module> import image, cbxarchive File "/Users/motomac/Downloads/kcc-master/kcc/image.py", line 99 except IOError as e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Code:

sudo port install py25-pil P.S. I have Kindle Touch, and I'm not sure, this mobi-file will work on it without margins. Please, can anybody upload some manga mobi-file in KF8 (800*600px)? |

Today I pushed a bunch of fixes on github, so you may want to pull fresh sources; I'm also working hardly for a bare-metal GUI with Tkinter to get rid of the droplet and eventually package the app. Stay tuned! PS: yes, the mobi will display margin-free on K4 at that resolution, I checked today against K3 (keyboard) too. |

I installed jpeg-8c and freetype-2.4.5. Then
Code:
