ImageOptimizer

Toxaris · 02-02-2016, 07:14 AM

This is an edit plugin that should work on Windows, Linux and OSX.

It is a wrapper plugin around several image optimization programs. It can optimize optimize JPG, PNG and GIF images.

The programs used are equal to my ePUBOptimizer program, but this plugin is Python only and will not subset fonts.

Prereqs: Sigil 0.8.2 (or higher). On Sigil 0.9.3 and higher it will make use of autostart and autoclose.
Prerequisite is that on Linux the programs jpegtran/optipng/gifsicle are required. For Windows and OSX these are included. The program jpegtran is included in libjpeg-progs on Linux.

Upon first execution a preference file will be created in the plugin_prefs directory. If required another version of jpegtran can be entered or the usage of wine, and thereby the included windows executables, can be activated. By default the standard jpegtran will be used and is wine not enabled.

Current Version: "0.2.1"

Hi

Thank very much you for porting this plugin to Sigil. I tried it on Archlinux 64 bits with Sigil 9.2.

I installed optipng and gifsicle. However I did not find jpegtran or libjpeg-progs (they probably have other names) and so my trial for today was unconclusive (the program kept waiting left-right-left-right...).

I had good hopes since I use Imagemagick 6.9.3. but no.

Toxaris · 02-02-2016, 09:08 AM

Roger, a quick search for Archlinux tells me that the library libjpeg-turbo contains jpegtran. That should do the trick.

It is strange the program kept waiting, it should just report the return code if the program is not found.

eschwartz · 02-02-2016, 09:55 AM

roger64 -- in future, an excellent way to find needed programs on Arch Linux is to use "pkgfile".

libjpeg-turbo is required by qt5-base, so it is already an indirect dependency of sigil.

roger64 · 02-02-2016, 08:35 PM

Thanks for pkgfile. I did not not know.

I installed this libjpeg-turbo to learn that.. it was already installed. So, the situation is the same: the plugin does not work for me on one valid EPUB3 file with three jpegs. It keeps "running" and never stops.

rubeus · 02-03-2016, 02:21 AM

Can you see in the process list the hpegtrans program running? So maybe the plugin is just waiting for the exteranl program which is waiting for whatever.

Toxaris · 02-03-2016, 02:48 AM

I will check again on my Linux machines.

Can you please check the version number of jpegtran? Toxaris's plugin uses version 9, which uses a different syntax than the previous version which accepts only one file name parameter.

The old version has the following syntax:

Code:

usage: jpegtran [switches] [inputfile]

however, the new version uses the following syntax:

Code:

usage: jpegtran [switches] [inputfile] [outputfile]

If you use the new syntax with the old version, it enters an endless loop, which causes the plugin to hang.

AFAIK, libjpeg-turbo is a fork of jpegtran that uses the old syntax. I.e. you can't use it to optimize .jpeg files under Linux.

@Doitsu

I don't know if this answers your question. It's cryptic for me

Code:

[roger@anterg ~]$ jpegtran -v

Code:

[roger@anterg ~]$ locate jpegtran
/home/roger/.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil/plugins/ImageOptimizer/osx/jpegtran
/home/roger/.local/share/sigil-ebook/sigil/plugins/ImageOptimizer/win/jpegtran.exe

/opt/calibre/bin/jpegtran
/usr/bin/jpegtran
/usr/share/man/man1/jpegtran.1.gz
[roger@anterg ~]$

I noted that the jpegtran in /usr has a 31k size, while the same in /opt has a 493k size. Should I exchange one for another?

That is useful info, thanks! I can probably work with that. I haven't been able to test it myself, I spent all morning building Sigil 0.9.3 on my Linux machine and it still doesn't work (my fault probably...).

Doitsu · 02-03-2016, 06:18 AM

@roger64: The jpegtran version that you've installed is the fork that I mentioned that still uses the old syntax and will most likely not work.

I'd recommend the following workaround:

1. Install the Wine windows emulator, if you haven't already done so.
2. Change lines 83 and 85 in plugin.py as follows:

old version:

Code:

            exe_path = 'jpegtran'
                
        args = [exe_path]

new version:

Code:

            exe_path = os.path.join(SCRIPT_DIR,'win', 'jpegtran.exe')
                
        args = ['wine', exe_path]

Make sure not to mess with the indentation otherwise Python will display some cryptic error messages.

DiapDealer · 02-03-2016, 07:57 AM

Why not allow the user to override paths to external programs via the prefs json?

Code:

prefs = bk.get_prefs()
#Default to none
if 'jpegtrans_path' not in prefs
    prefs['jpegtran_path'] = None
# Default to false
if 'use_wine' not in prefs
    prefs['use_wine'] = False

Then somewhere in your platform logic:

Code:

islinux = sys.platform.startswith('linux')

if islinux and prefs['jpegtran_path'] is not None:
    exe_path = prefs['jpegtran_path']
else:
    exe_path = 'jpegtran'
if islinux and prefs['use_wine']:
    args = ['wine', path_to_included_windows_exe]
else:
    args = [exe_path]

''' Plugin processing '''

# Need a call to savePrefs so the json file gets created after first run
bk.savePrefs(prefs)

Or something similar. I've not actually looked at the plugin code.

That way the user can just modify the json prefs file to 1) point to a newer version of jpegtran (which I'm betting calibre's is); or 2) use wine to run the included Windows version.

This is to report success.

The images went from
146 to 127k
334 to 244k
863 to 812k

Keep in mind that your code changes will be lost if you ever re-install the plugin or upgrade.
