Mangle v2.2.0.1 (Unofficial)

So, I’ve gone ahead and done some more work on Mangle. We’re going to pretend my previous quick-tweak released on Dropbox never existed and start afresh with this one.

Rather than a lengthy diatribe about what I’ve done, I’ll just drop the changelog here:

Major Upgrades

• Added the option to export books to CBZ format.
• Added the option to split images instead of rotating them to match the device’s aspect ratio.
  • Note: Because of the nook color’s unusual aspect ratio, average-sized manga pages tend to get split in half, and double pages tend to be split into three. You might have better luck using the regular nook profile if you want to split the wide pages.
• Changed how “Draw frame around images” handles oversized images: Previously, oversized images would be cropped to the device’s dimensions. Now a frame is added such that the image matches the device’s aspect ratio.

Minor Changes

• Added profiles for nook (600×730) and nook color (600×980).
  • Note: Since the nook color is, well, full-color, and palette reduction is unnecessary, the “dither” option uses the same palette as the regular nook/Kindle 3, if you want to use that for whatever reason.
  • Note: The nook color’s resolution was selected based on this post. I figure it’s more useful to size pages to the actual usable resolution, so the e-reader doesn’t end up resizing it again before display.
• Changed the wording on “Resize images” to more accurately reflect what it does: shrinks oversized images.
• Added an option to enlarge images which are smaller than the selected device’s resolution
  • Note: Shrinking images uses the PIL’s antialias filter, and enlarging images uses the bicubic filter.
• Added “Save Defaults” and “Restore Defaults” buttons to the options page. This allows you to change which options are set by default when creating a new book.
• Fixed an issue where “Draw frame around images” left an extra pixel of empty space on the right and bottom between the image and the frame.
• Fixed an issue with rotation which could add a row/column of black pixels along the top/left of an image.
• Added a button to the toolbar which opens the options menu. (Icon provided by http://pixel-mixer.com)
• The save/open dialogs now keep track of the last directory saved to/loaded from for as long as the program is open.
• There may be some more I’m not remembering, but that’s the gist of it.

You can grab the source code and Windows binary here. If you only want the binary, just grab everything in the dist folder.

For bug reports/suggestions, please use the issue tracker on the GitHub page.

EDIT: Fixed a silly bug in 2.2 that would have prevented 99% of people from loading the program. Whoops! Be sure to grab 2.2.0.1.

お楽しみにしてください～
