So is 9.2b good to use on non-UTF-8 PRC as well?

Now it is, as of latest edit to see post#45 above.
Also changed the 'cover_nr.html' to allow more space for cover images by replacing '2em' margin with '2px' margin. Now that's more to my liking! |

- problem 1 was the UTF-8 problem (only on the Spring-heeled Jack file), i had this problem making a conversion with v9.1. it is resolved as you know. ![]() - problem 2 was that i installed v9.2, but it did not work at all (i tried it on *both* the Spring-heeled Jack and Austen files, which i had previously successfully converted with v9.1 ; i chose those files because i knew they were not corrupt, as might have been a problem with a file i had never converted before). this is the error message i put higher up in this thread. today i uninstalled v9.2, re-downloaded the installer as well as the 9.2b temporary fix, re-installed it, added the fix, tried again : works perfectly. (conversion, and even the UTF code was no problem, all the punctuation is as it should be). ![]() and i noticed you changed the headers to use smallfont by default, brilliant !! yay ! thanks again for all this !! have some karma, you deserve it... now i'm off to test the new full-screen image fix you mentioned and see what that does... |

![]() i'm glad i can help out with testing and theory, it seems like the least i can do, since i have no programming skills at all (i'm sure you've noticed that ![]() since you ask, i *do* have a sort of question possibly a request concerning the images (next time i'm sure you won't say anything !)... i tried out v9.2 on a Jane Austen file with fullscreen images and i was *amazed* to see the conversion can actually calculate the white margins to add to the images, and add them, to match the perfect ratio !! ![]() the only little thing is... i see you made the images the full size of the 1200 screen. i understand why you did this : it's the simplest way, you can use only one set of images for both devices then, because the 1200 screen is proportionately wider than the 1150 so you are sure the re-scaled images will fit. however, these images are then *smaller* than necessary on the 1150 screen, and there is an empty space at the bottom of the screen. it seems to be a shame to me, since the 1150 display is already smaller than the 1200, not to use it completely (and, maybe i'm biased because i have a 1150 not a 1200 ![]() so, would it be at all possible, to choose which screen size to reformat the images to in the options, like if you only want to make an 1150 format ?? if yes, would it then be possible to automatically add extra (coded) side margins (2 em right and left seems to work) to these images, if the 1200 version is generated at the same time ? if it's not possible, then obviously it's not too important, i can continue to reformat the images using my batch treatment in photoshop if i want to optimize for the 1150, and add the margins by hand if i want to make a 1200 version. but, since we've come this far, i thought i might as well ask... ![]() anyway, i really love this tool, and i really appreciate all the work you put into it. so thanks again ! ![]() |

But before I get there, I want to see if there is a good compromise. One thought I have is if the picture is below 320x480, then I would use the 1150 aspect ratio so that I could maximize the image and not hurt the 1200 version since it has a larger screen. However, this breaks for the same image which is say doubled and larger than the screen. Then you have two images, same aspect ratio, but two different treatments. I'm leaning toward this. Any thoughts?. Oh, yeah, technical explanation continues. Once you know the "perfect" aspect ratio then, only when the image is taller than wider (width < height) do we need to increase the width to reach the target aspect ratio. If that new width is say 300 and the old width was say 270, then we need to pad the image by 15 = (300-270)/2 on each side to center the original image. Now with an image the "perfect" aspect ratio there is no image resizing problem. Viola! Quote:

Please when you scale images, please take into account the size when there is no header generated. I feel I don't need to use a header as you should already know what book it is you are reading. So I don't use that option and won't be using it. To me, it takes up room best used for more text and larger images.

I think this is a good compromise. Mobi2IMP 9.3 on its way soon... EDIT: Oh, yeah, forgot to show one of the benefits of accomodating a small header. If you DON'T choose the header, then there is room for a caption if you remove the <BR> between the illustration and caption! See the two new pics (noheader+withcaption).

Is this working now in version 9.3? I have to admit, I'm lazy too! (that's why this feature is there!)

Pending improvement to Mobi2IMP 9.3
Just fixed but not yet added to a full release:
- improve the removal of stray blank lines BEFORE a page-break that caused empty blank pages to be inserted into the ebook. Fixed for now in mobi2IMP.exe dos only (see Mobi2IMP-9.3b-dos.zip in post#1 above). I will no longer change the GUI installer for minor bug fixes that do not change to GUI options screen. Instead, I will update only the mobi2IMP.exe in the 'Mobi2IMP/bin' directory. Unzip the highest version number followed by a letter in post#1 above into the 'Mobi2IMP/bin' home directory overwriting the old .exe. At the next release, these files will be deleted! |
