same pull request, but fixed to work with panel view and double tap

Full installation procedure

I assume you have git and Python 3 installed. I did this on Windows 10, but it should work also on Linux.

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc
cd kcc

Merge with this PR:

git fetch origin pull/405/head:kindle_signature
git checkout master
git merge kindle_signature

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

Launch
python ./kcc.py

You may need KindleGen.exe. Steps for adding it can be found here (as pointed in the issue #402).

Whoa thank you so much for doing this! I tried the Oasis 2/3 setting but I wouldnt get the right zoom (slightly cut off from the right side). @nosovk Thank you for merging this stuff, I am not that capable at applying these changes myself!

Hi there! @nosovk Is it possible to generate a build for Mac OS? I have been trying to follow the guide to add PW5 as a profile with no success. Thank you for your contribution!

@CookieCaptainD
I don't have a Mac OS but I created a build here with github.
Could you try it and tell me if it works fine?

Hi there @darodi
I don't currently have my PW5 with me. However, I can generate mobi files and open them with calibre just fine. The editor works as well. Have only tested functions Manga Mode, Spread Splitter and Strect/Upscale and work just as intended.
Only issue was that I had to use xattr in the terminal to fix the "app is damaged" error, in order to open it.
When I have tested with the device itself, I will let you know.
Thank you once again for the work.

Hopefully in the future Github supports generating an arm64/universal build since that is the direction Apple appears to be going.

@darodi Finally had time to experience it on the PW 5 and works without any issues with the options I mencioned in my previous post. Thanks for the amazing work!
