Libra Colour Manga/Images full page formatting

[mgrimace]

Hello,

After converting manga to .kepub in KCC. I can convert it to .kepub.ebub and send it to my Libra using send.djazz, or via KTE in Calibre.

When I send via send.djazz, the Manga/page images appear in full screen and ‘ignore’ my settings re. time left in chapter, etc that I typically have in books. This is my preferred option, I like the full screen.

However, when I sed via Calibre and KTE driver, the images behave like books and show the time remaining header, etc.

How can I set up Calibre/KTE to show Manga images fullscreen when paging through as I get from send.djazz conversion? Yes, I could send one-at-a-time via send.djazz, but I have hundreds of volumes and would prefer to do it all at once via USB.

Thank you in advance!

Ok, I figured this out as far as I can tell.
- KCC converted files into .kepub.epub. However, on Windows, the filename just looked like .kepub (with the .epub hidden). I mistakenly thought it required additional conversion.
- Importing the .kepub.epub into Calibre, the manga shows up as a .epub, so I had to turn off autoconversion in KTE (by enabling .epub and .kepub files to be sent to the kobo).
- When sending the original KCC converted .kepub.epub, without another conversion to 'kepub' in calibre, the images do show in full screen mode without the header or footer.
- Specifically, the header is enabled for 'books', and manga shows full screen as desired.

In short: For full screen Manga, convert CBZ to kepub.epub in KCC, then either send directly to the device, or use Calibre. If using Calibre, be sure not to re-covert the files, just send as 'epubs'. This way, I could update the series, author, etc. in Calibre and still get full-screen pages.

What you need to do is in Windows is you need to allow Windows to display known file extensions.

Yes, and Calibre also reported the files as epubs and not kepubs, so I had to enable both formats in Kobo Touch Extended, not just kepub. Calibre was triggering an automatic conversion on send.
