.azw.rez Files do not get imported. #1592

Open Bitwolfies opened 3 years ago

Bitwolfies commented 3 years ago

These files are required to get the full resolution out of comics. they do not import with the book, cutting the size, and quality, in half, using the plugin for version 5, with kindle 1.26.

As you know from earlier threads, Apprentice Harper would be happy to get a pull request to handle this for AZW6. Does the KFX Input plugin not do this for KFX format? Or do you end up with the lower quality images in that case too?

j-howell commented 3 years ago

Pull request #959 was submitted over a year ago to add this functionality to DeDRM. It was not accepted by apprenticeharper because it has nothing to do with DRM removal.

This could instead be made into a separate calibre plugin that would run automatically during import after DeDRM has done its job. Such a plugin could then be published and supported on MobileRead along with all of the other non-DRM related plugins. The original author of that pull request seemed uninterested in doing that. Perhaps someone else will take on that task.

Ah, I was thinking of this comment: https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools/issues/483#issuecomment-394096450

I had forgotten about that pull request and Harper's response there.

I have some interest in this so I will take a look at producing a separate calibre plugin.

Do you get the higher res images with decrypted KFX?

In my experience the resolution of images in KFX format is usually about the same as AZW6.

I believe that KFX is capable of supporting higher quality images than AZW6, however in most cases the images supplied by the publisher is the limiting factor.

If you do please let me know!

I have decided that it is not worth my time and effort to create and maintain a calibre plugin to do this.

The pull request I mentioned earlier would be a good starting point if someone else wants to pursue this.

That's a shame, thanks for trying.

I've adapted the earlier PR as a standalone plugin: https://github.com/HamsterExAstris/calibre-azw6-image-merge
