For the past four chapters, I've been clicking on an image... clicking it again to put it in rename mode... typing in a better name... repeat.........
And yeah it gets really tedious when there's 50 images to rename. So I automated it with a Python script (renamer.py). Took maybe, one second? to run ten lines of code and rename all the files for Ch 32. 🙃
The other annoying bit in the pre-processing is cropping the screenshots of the raws down to just the page. I did this all manually as well, in GIMP. Rectangle select tool... zoom in to the top left corner... line cursor up with upper left of page... click and drag while zooming out, then zoom in to the bottom right corner... line cursor up with lower right of page... release... Image>Crop to Selection.........
Again, very tedious and annoying. Then I wrote cropper.py, first using GIMP to identify the pixel coordinates of the extremes of my images, and input them into a library crop function. Run, and maybe a minute later (image processing always takes way longer) all the images were cropped perfectly for Ch 32. 🙃
I know that I'm lazy. But I still don't know how to feel about this... why am I programming when scanlating... why am I thinking about automating everything I do with scripts.......
