HELP A COMICBOOK READER
Who can help me for a script (or hints on how) to do the following magic:
[ul]1 - I want to select multiple CBR files (Comic-book RAR files)
2 - Press a DOPUS button that does the following:
3 - Unpack each archive (to a temp folder?) and repack it using different packing settings (no compression, just store).
4 - resulting in the same archive with the same name (file must stay in same directory - even when selected from flat view)[/ul]
I don't mind if the process is very slow. My PC can work while i sleep 
I won't care if the resulting file is a bigger.
I have looked at the scripts for Packing RAR to ZIP, but I can not get it to work on multiple files with different settings and same name?
Anybody up to the task?
Reason for this: I read lots of comics, but solid-packed comics are slow to open, cause errors and are not flexible in terms of cacheing and battery use on my tablet.
Maybe there is an easier way. Convert to ZIP (CBZ) instead of CBR.
The command/script that has to execute for each file is:
c:\progra~1\winrar\winrar cv -y [filename].rar
ren [filename].zip [filename].cbz
Now how do i go about and make sure there are no duplicates left

I found a script and a tool to help:

If anyone finds this through a search, this cbr to cbz button might be of interest.
@STRANGERNL, in case you are still interested here is exactly what you have been looking for: Comic Book CBx-To-CBx Convert & Resize v1.40
Thanks! I will look into it.
Still need a better way then I'm using now. Thanks for the link!
