Woah, talk about fast turn around, thanks Fangorn!

xikky · 08-03-2007, 11:54 PM

Thanks to visionarycat for the solution and thanks to FangornUK for updating the app!

Works like a charm!

Any chance of adding chaptering? Or is there a way to define chapters after an .lrf is created?

seveng · 08-04-2007, 12:43 PM

Sweet, that worked great. One slight bug that won't matter since I'm more interested in reading the manga, the covers (the only jpgs in each archive) aren't getting processed. I'll PM you a url to one of the cbrs in case you want to play with it.

Would there be a way for ComicLRF to rotate the image that are landscape to portrait before it processes the image?

That seems to be the best way to handle this issue.

Updated: Put file ordering back to alphabetical, most Comics appear to use this order. Added auto image rotation for landscape images.

seveng, your problem was due to the file ordering I used in the last release, those missing images were actually at the end of the LRF. Fixed that in this release.

Thanks for the update! It works a lot more seamlessly now, and my mangas look beautiful on my reader

Anyone get this error?

Looks like you didn't install the ActivePerl as specified in the README? This comes with the required Perl libraries as default, with other alernative Perl distributions you'll need to install the required libraries like Archive::Zip.

irishjew · 08-19-2007, 12:45 AM

I have ActivePerl installed. Do I need to configure it or something?

irishjew · 08-19-2007, 05:55 PM

Never mind. I reinstalled ActivePerl and it works just fine now.

visionarycat · 08-21-2007, 10:44 PM

Is there any chance of possibly having PNG support in the future? 'cause that would be a great help.

FangornUK · 08-23-2007, 08:37 AM

PNG support is already there.

visionarycat · 08-23-2007, 09:46 PM

Whenever I try to use convert png images I get the following message:

Quote:

convert: no decode delegate for this image format 'C:\....\temp\comiclrf\page_01.png'
convert: missing an image filename 'LibrieImgTumb.gif'
ImageMagick failed, path set wrong? at C:\comiclrf\comiclrf.pl line 179

I've tried reinstalling ImageMagick, but I get the same error message.

I have had the best success with comiclrf when I install its files into the directory of the .cbr files that I am about to convert.

When I instead run comiclrf from its own directory, I have problems making wildcards work.

To get around the wildcard problem I am trying to instead call comiclrf from the command line while in the directory of comics that I want to convert, but then the script fails because the other apps comiclrf needs for the conversion are not in the path (like UnRar.exe). Would it be possible to change the script so that it explicitly uses the path for these apps so that we could call the script from another directory? I wish I knew enough to do it myself, but I suspect this might help others as well and could make the script more robust. Don't hesitate to correct me if I am missing something obvious that makes this unnecessary.

Thanks. I love this script. It really has made my Reader much more versatile.

FangornUK · 08-25-2007, 08:05 AM

visionarycat, works fine for me. Can you send a sample that fails?

banjopicker, can you post a typical command line that fails?
