Created November 23, 2023 07:15
Quick script to split a CBZ file full of two-page scans into pages and then bundle them into data URIs in a .html file
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""A quick helper for splitting manga pages in a CBZ containing two-page
spreads and then bundling them into base64 URLs in an HTML file so the mobile
Safari preview inside the iOS Files app can act as a quick-and-dirty manga
reader.
Takes .cbz files and produces large .html files.
Currently assumes first image will be a cover and doesn't split it.

PHP Code to check for Zip files which require ZIP64 support to unpack successfully
<?php
// NOTE: If your goal is to check for maximum compatibility
// rather than ZIP64 specifically, hedge against Zip
// implementations which use signed integer variables by
// changing 0xFFFF and 0xFFFFFFFF to 0x7FFF and 0x7FFFFFFF
// and then add a check for which compression algorithm
// each statIndex call says is in use.

Files for making Flatpak builds of lgogdownloader

A Flatpak release of LGOGDownloader to provide easy access to up-to-date builds with the optional QtWebEngine dependency enabled.

Note that the included patch for the htmlcxx dependency was submitted to upstream, but the project appears to be unmaintained.
