v0.4
NOTE: THIS RELEASE HAS BREAKING CHANGES
Added
- New OCR engine: “Manga OCR” Online (via a Hugging Face Space by Gryan Galario) (
ocr.engine = mangaocr_online
). - Auto Block OCR Instant mode: the Auto Block OCR command now takes a parameter that determines whether to ask the user to click a point or to immediately take the current mouse position.
keybindings.global.ocr.autoBlock
now binds to the instant variant, while.autoBlockSelect
binds to the variant mediated by a mouse click. - Translation-only mode: Option that treats incoming chunks as translations and creates a new chunk for each translation. Useful when watching media with just the translation subtitles (
chunk.translationOnlyMode = true
). - Clipboard Inserter (Firefox, Chrome) browser extension integration—when active, clipboard text will be automatically grabbed as a new Kamite chunk.
Changed
- mpv integration rework: The mpv script has been removed, the IPC connection with mpv is now used for extracting subtitles. BREAKING CHANGE: please remove the old mpv script (
~/.config/mpv/scripts/kamite.lua
) and make sure that mpv is launched with the parameter--input-ipc-server="/tmp/kamite-mpvsocket"
. - “Manga OCR” integration rework: The
mangaocr.sh
wrapper script is no longer used and in its absence the Python executable used is no longer thePATH
python
, but the default pipx manga-ocr installation path. BREAKING CHANGE: please either provide a path to a Python launcher that can access themanga_ocr
module under the config keyocr.mangaocr.pythonPath
or simply reinstall “Manga OCR” using pipx (pipx install manga-ocr
). - Text transform action has gained additional visually similar character pairs.
- Tesseract executable can now be customized (
ocr.tesseract.path
; default istesseract
). - Tesseract error reporting has been improved.
- Linux launcher bash script has been replaced with a launcher program.
- The client UI now uses scalable icons.
Fixed
- Successfully loading a profile config file is no longer falsely reported when the file is not readable.
- A rare failure in manga text block detector.
- Command palette button tooltip is now correctly hidden when the browser loses focus to a point/area selection program.
