Dear all, user Alex Brollo has developed a very interesting tool which I think many of you will find very useful. (afaiu he developed this from a previous tool, but he can explain it better)
To test it, go on your oldwikisource account, and in User:YOU/vector.js copy this:
importScript("User:Alex_brollo/cornersDependencies.js"); importScript("User:Alex brollo/corners.js"); importStylesheet("User:Alex brollo/common.css");
The tool will appear under Tools, and it's called "Ritaglio immagini" (crop images). It opens a window which allows you to select and crop an image directy on the page. It is extremely useful to use illustration directly on the page. It is usable both in View and Edit mode.
In the Italian Wikisource we have made it a Gadget and button, so it's active for everyone.

Aubrey, Alex,
Thank you very much for creating this tool and for sharing it. It is really amazing. On ca-ws we only found one bug: when exporting the document into ePub or pdf (both with the EpubExporter and the Book Tool), the coordinates are not exported rightly and the cropping has an offset. It might be an incompatibility issue with the ePub exporter or something that we have not configured right. Example: https://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/Test http://wsexport.wmflabs.org/tool/book.php?lang=ca&format=epub&page=T...
Aleator said that it could be useful for Wikipedia, and I cannot agree more. Sometimes we spend a lot of time cropping and uploading, when it can be done much faster with this.

I just shared it, so congratulations go to Alex only :-)
I also found that some pages of the exported EPUB do have problems, but the image is always present, afaik.
For example, in this EPUB ( https://toolserver.org/~tpt/wsexport/book.php?lang=it&format=epub&pa... ) I don't see this image: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Pagina:Lezioni_e_racconti_per_i_bambini.djvu/...

Thanks for appreciation; I've to underline that it's only a development of a brilliant idea of George Orwell III (:en:s:Template:Freedimg).
I think that the tool should be used to show a "preview" of final image, since it's a little bit band-expensive (since a unusefully large image is upload to show a piece of it), nevertheless it's so user-rewarding that I think that this is a minor fault.
About ePub bug: I presume that's mainly a css issue into ePub, and that id could be solved finding the right css to export; but I could not test this hypothesis as it deserve.
I hope to extend the tool to make it run everywhere - simply adding what needed to tell him explicitely the basename of File/Index/Page to upload.

If any of you if interested about, you can find here: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Utente:Alex_brollo/estrattoreImmagini.py the draft of two version of a py tool, that reads wikicode of source pages, finds code of crop template, and uses their parameters to crop really images coming from djvu file or from archive.org _jp2.zip (if any).
Cropped images are collected into a folder, ready to be uploaded into Commons by commonis orsimilar scripts.
