Small CBZ filesizes with .webp compression
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2016 3:15 pm
I've always advocated PDF's purely from a compression standpoint (being able to get a PDF about 40% smaller than a CBZ has always been a huge plus for me due to limited storage space). However, after discovering that Comic Rack (and likely many other CBZ/CBR readers) supports .webp images, I'm ready to depart from my antiquated ways. I was able to achieve 70% + compression without noticeable loss in quality and maintain the greater support for CBZ's! I have a huge back catalog that I'll be converting to CBZ's with webp compressed images. In the meantime, for the new downloads, I've written a rough post-processing script to unarchive, convert jpg to webp and rearchive. I'm pretty sure there are still variables I have not accounted for yet.
Would this functionality be something that could be integrated into Mylar proper? I was perusing through the comictagger python files to see if I found a logical spot for it, but I'm learning python on the fly to attempt any of it and as such it's a little intimidating.
