Scale and Crop to fill screen #33

Closed axu2 closed 3 years ago

axu2 commented 3 years ago

I own a 9.7" Kindle DX (2010). Yes, that's bigger than a normal manga volume. iPad sized.

The resolution of 824x1200 is nearly perfect, but some series are slightly skinnier than the Kindle screen by an annoyingly small margin. It's precisely skinny enough to be really annoying, especially during page turns

So I added the feature to scale and crop to fill the screen.

(It replaces the existing stretch to fill, which I can't imagine using, changing the manga's aspect ratio.)

This is safe to do, since manga is designed so it can afford a little crop on the edges!

Also makes text slightly bigger, which is nice on low resolution/dpi screens.

Makes reading an entirely new experience, re-reading some of my old favorites now!

Also built a .exe! Linked here: https://github.com/axu2/mangle/releases/tag/1.0.0

Details in #34

Includes other bugfixes like split page overwriting since the last time it was built must have been 2013.
