Calibre - Images are cut between pages in 2 pages mode
Yeah, I know what you guys are going to say... but I still need to report this one. Basically IU experience this:
Calibre bugtracker has this entry "https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1293102", but it's tagged as "wontfix"; would it be possible to "fix" it on this side? I don't know if the solution suggested in that post will impact the /div removing thing. webtopdf is 0009 on chrome.
Strange thing is I remember it working flawlessy, and I didn't update calibre after that since I just updated it before.
I can confirm that setting images' width and height to 95% instead of 100% as said in the bug report fixes it. 99% also does, but when there're multiple successive images like in the gallery, unwanted blank pages will appear.
`
That's interesting. I've never thought about this solution.
Hmm. Looks like I could class it as part of this. https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub/issues/12
I suppose everyone can see it, but while I wrote "2 page mode" my screenshot is from the page mode, single page since the window was half screen large. The important thing is that I was in "page" mode, not "flow" mode, which obviously behaves differently.
@dreamer2908 @typhoon71 I've changed the height to 95%, and with lastest version (0.0.0.10) you can manually modify the stylesheet. i.e. add a "page-break-before: always;" to the stylesheet.
Please let me know if this helps.
Kudos for the moddable stylesheet, well tought option. I will test 0.0.0.10 later, it seems BakaTsuki has database issues right now... (the addon seems to be getting files anyway, but I prefer not "risking" a false positive)
@dteviot OK. I tested version 0.0.0.10. In short, it works. But I suggest keeping the cover image at 100% since it isn't affected by the issue.
Unrelated notes: I personally dislike landscape image getting the whole page, especially when there're text around it. Normal img tag with width="100%" looks nicer, like this. Maybe it's just me.
mmm, here BakaTsuki still showing "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties." But I suppose WebToEpub still works. Anyway, +1 to keeping the cover image at 100%. Small note: the images now are not centered vertically, I suppose because of the -5%; is there any way to center them?
Cover image noted.
Getting images to work properly in all cases is not easy. I'm still investigating the matter. However, I'm hopeful I can do something about the blank pages. Which is https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub/issues/28
Hi again. I actually agree to removing the 100% height property as its no longer needed (it was more of a quick fix to a bigger problem, which was the bulleted image points). @dteviot which was fixed when we moved them out of the gallery (i forgot to remove the height property, Sorry >.<).

I'm not sure that's correct. Lord Simon, who wrote the older EPUB version is the one who told me to use 100% height. Anyway, I'm looking into (well, Googling) the recommended way to handle images in EPUB.
100% height should be the way to go, it also is better looking. So if it's possible to have 100% height now that the spacing issue is fixed I agree with it too.
@typhoon71 One more change on the Experimental Tag branch. Can now set to use <img> tags rather than <svg><image>. (It's on the advanced options.) This might help with image splitting.
Image splitting still occurs even if you use <img> tags. When you generate the file, modify the default height and width of <img> tags to 90% in the stylesheet.
It's a calibre bug, and the only way to fix it is to keep height and width below 95%
I think it should be reported to calibre, but by someone that has a better understanding of the matter than myself, as I could just explain what happens.
@toshiya44 thanks for the confirmation. @dteviot any chance you have some time to submit a ticket to calibre
@belldandu No, I have not submitted a bug report to calibre. I also haven't done any work for the last couple of weeks due to my Home PC experiencing a critical existence failure. All going well, should have a new PC in 2 to 3 weeks.
I'm thinking the way to fix this problem is to put each large image on it's own file/page, as is done with covers. Unfortunately, this is not quite as simple to do as it sounds.
Oh yikes your having the same problem as me pc wise. Although i have no way of replacing mine.
@dteviot yep on my side I'm doing this for every epub, I separate every image on it's own page if there is successive image since I had problem with this on google play book and sometimes on iBook
@AzSiAz
I separate every image on it's own page if there is successive image
Do you do that manually or do you have code? If you have code, can I have a copy please? If you do it manually, can you walk me through the steps you use? Because I'll want to write code to do same thing.
Never write code for this unfortunately, otherwise I'm just using calibre since it's easier this way
@AzSiAz

please tell me the steps you take to do this.
I'd like to know how you do it too. I started using the calibre editor instead of sigil so you'll make two pigeons happy with only one popcorn!
