comiclrf - Comics(CBZ) to LRF converter - Page 7

FangornUK · 01-25-2008, 06:30 PM

Thanks Gideon. I haven't found a way to create landscape comics that use the full resolution, not sure it is possible with LRF files. Currently they are Portrait resolution and zoom up in landscape mode.

FangornUK · 02-02-2008, 11:21 AM

Updated: Now uses libprs500 for the "lrs2lrf" utility, cross platform compatible (now works on Mac OS X).
Added Sharpen filter, makes text more readable. On by default.
Border trim is now more rigorous.
Normalize filter is now on by default.
Performance tweak for ImageMagick.

Note: If upgrading from previous versions of comiclrf, make sure "lrs2lrf.exe" in the comiclrf directory is deleted. Make sure you use libprs500 v0.4.35 or later.

Tested with Windows and Mac OS X. Can't test on Linux as I couldn't get libprs500 installed on Ubuntu.

Ok I got everything installed but it give me the error imagemagick failed wrong path set. I noticed that the perl script is point to c:\program files, what do I change that line to on a mac. I installed IM via macports and I left it on the default settings. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it

You haven't installed ImageMagick properly on the Mac, it needs to be in your PATH. Follow the ImageMagick installation instructions from the ImageMagick site and get the binaries. The MacPort version doesn't appear to install correctly.

I got all my problems figured out and I have to say thanks this is the best program I have ever used the manga looks great, keep up the good work.

Hi, great job on the program!

Update: Issue resolved by changing script's encoding to utf-8

Thanks a lot of reading

FangornUK · 02-15-2008, 06:52 AM

Updated: Bug fix for libprs500 and a fix for the temporary directory.

Recommend you get this version.

Any chance of a GUI version?

I'm practically wee-tah-ded with this compooter stuff.

FangornUK · 02-27-2008, 02:10 PM

GUI's are for wimps. Drink a few bottles of Guiness and give it a go.

No thanks.

I have a job, a girlfriend, books to read, social engagements, keys... I'm a fully-functional human being with a full plate; I've not the spare time to learn command line code interface doohickeys.

Go and read In the beginning was the Command Line:

I have the opposite problem compared to many people in this thread. If i have to do something in a GUI it usually takes much more time than doing something similar without a GUI so it is nearly always very frustrating to use a GUI.

Hi there. I'm having problems getting this to work. I've followed all of the instructions but when I try to run through the command line I get the following error:

RAR failed! at C:\comiclrf.pl line 138

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks in advance.

FangornUK · 03-18-2008, 06:58 AM

Could be any number of things; can't find UNRAR (which is included with the program), corrupt CBR/RAR file, not a CBR/RAR file. What command line did you use, what Operating System. Change the file extension to .RAR and test with WinRAR.

phurren · 03-18-2008, 12:50 PM

Thanks for the reply. Here's my thoughts...

UNRAR is in c:\ along with comic.lrf and the cbr file.

cbr file is not corrupt - it opens fine in CDisplay, and also fine when I change the file extension to rar and open it with Winrar.

I am using Windows XP. I used the command prompt and moved to c:\ then typed the following:

comiclrf.pl "test.cbr"

and that is when I got the error.
