Handle double-page covers better. #125

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When displaying cover art in the main scraper window or in the series/issues 
dialogs, sometimes you run into a two page cover (showing the back and front of 
the comic book.)

Right now, the scraper squishes both pages down into the space that it normally 
displays a single page in, which looks ugly and is hard to see.   

It would be better if the scraper simply chopped of the back cover (left half) 
of images like this, and only displays the front cover (right half) of the 
comic page, since that is really all you need to see to make a positive 
identification of an issue while scraping.

For example, this issue can be see clearly by looking at Comic Vine's alternate 
covers in Red Sonja (2005) #2-6.  Each issue has one alternate cover that is 
actually a double-page cover.

Implemented as described.   Certain double-page covers are a little fuzzy 
looking now, but it's still a lot easier to see them now than it was when they 
were all distorted and compressed.
