kiwix-desktop VS kiwix-android

If it's Kiwix Desktop, then I'm afraid I can't test that, as I don't have a physical Mac, and Browser Stack doesn't allow me to install executables. However, it might be worth raising an issue here.

Ah, I did a bunch of experimenting and figured out a few things.. One, https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues/868 affects versions prior to 2.3.0. two; I was using version 2.2.0 or such. And three; it still seems to always download into $HOME no matter what I set the download path to, so if my "download path" has 400G free but $HOME only has 10G free, I can't download anything 10G or larger.

You can have several tabs open at once but I don't think you can open several zim files in once click. But that would be an interesting feature, maybe you should open a ticket at https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues

A good place to ask would probably be r/kiwix or, better, https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues (or https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues)

Hmm, the first thing to do in this case is open a ticket on github: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues

Thanks very much for directing me to github. I made a more detailed post there (https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues/563), if you are interested.

Thanks for checking that. So it seems like we have an issue with UTF8 search for mutli-byte character sets. I've opened this issue on GitHub to investigate further: Search appears to be broken with Chinese characters (possibly all UTF-8 multibyte characters).

Either way the previous version still works. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/releases/tag/3.8.0

Looking further it looks like 3.6.0 used to be on f-droid https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiwix/comments/wxaf88/kiwixandroid_360_available_on_fdroid_major_fix/ but was pulled all the way back to 2.4 due to containing non FOSS. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/30910 which looks like isn't slated to be fixed until 3.7.0

https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android haven’t been there for a few years now but happy with what I did and taught. Introduced kotlin to a pure java environment and it was so much better every time

https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/blob/develop/core/src/main/java/org/kiwix/kiwixmobile/core/extensions/CursorExtensions.kt ah good it is still there, haven’t been on the project in years

Never had such a problem with my Pixel4 but I would totally suggest you open a ticket on github describing the issue.

It's a known issue and should be fixed with the next release, but feel free to open a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues

That's an unusual issue - would you mind opening a ticket on https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues ? (basically indicate the Android version, device, Kiwix version, etc. so we can try and reproduce)
