[Feature-Request] Generation of the .cbz file from the images

[jaxxa]

Similar to issue #17 it would be nice if we were able to produce .cbz files from directly within the program.

If you dont know these are .zip files containing jpg files. So it should be possible to zip up the images and rename the file to create these.

Yep, I'm planning on making .epub as well. Since @RamolaWeb mentioned that he'd like to help in getting those PDFs, I'll be leaving that to him. I'll try to get this feature by this weekend.

Make sure the cbz has NO compression. That's the most common error I've found. (you don't want to compress jpgs, and it slows down opening the file greatly.

oh, thanks for the pointer. Will keep in mind (Y)

This should work now. Check on your ends please :)

Using plain make archive zip means that compression is used. (which is a mistake for comic archives, and causes big delays in many readers)

https://docs.python.org/2/library/zipfile.html#zipfile-objects is the better choice, and would allow using ZIP_STORED (no compression)

I didn't go with the zipfile becasue it didn't have the feature of adding multiple files at once in a compression module. shutil had it. I'll have to iterate over each and every image and then add it in a zip.

For now, please bear with the shutil, in near future I'll update this with the zipfile and remove the compression, as mentioned in those links. I hope that's fine. :)

[sethcohn]

Of course. Any zip is better than no zip. :) I just figured I'd point that out. If someone has issues with the zip file generated, try rezipping to an uncompressed (stored) one, and compare speed/performance.

Thank you for all you do, don't mean to see ungrateful.
