Converting EPUB to DOCX Results in Small Images

[Ukie]

When converting EPUB books to DOCX, often times the images are noticeably smaller in DOCX than they were originally in EPUB.
Would it be possible upscale them by default to around 30–50%?

Thank you!

Something to keep in mind is that there are two types of images that Word recognizes: "Shapes" and "InlineShapes"
I have written a macro (below) to do this, but it would be much more convenient to add the option under "DOCX output" in Caliber.

Sub UpscaleAllImages()
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
    q = .InlineShapes.Count
    r = .Shapes.Count
    countMsg = MsgBox("There Are " & q + r & " Images found. Proceed to Upscale?", vbYesNo)
    If countMsg = vbNo Then End

    For i = 2 To .Shapes.Count 'Skip first image (cover)

        With .Shapes(i)
            .ScaleHeight 1.4, msoFalse
            .ScaleWidth 1.4, msoFalse
        End With
    Next i

    For j = 2 To .InlineShapes.Count 'Skip firt image (cover)
    With .InlineShapes(j)
            .ScaleHeight = 80
            .ScaleWidth = 80
        End With
    Next j

End With
End Sub

calibre generally tries to preserve the formatting of input documents as
much as possible. The imaging models of EPUB and DOCX are very different
so a one-to-one conversion is not always possible. That said if you
provide some example documents, I can take a look at improving the
translation heuristics for image sizes.
