kiwix-desktop VS kiwix-hotspot

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.

Changelog: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/blob/master/ChangeLog

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.

OK, I found this in the CHANGELOG:

But since you've found the repo and are not the first one to ask, feel free to open a feature request at https://github.com/offspot/kiwix-hotspot/issues

Edit: it actually is a feature request and has been scheduled for the next milestone.

This update is fairly important as it corrects a number of limitations that were on Raspberry Hotspots. The full changelog is here but here's what really matters:

The FAQ indicates that RPi 4 manufactured from late 2020 on are not supported, but I also see that this ticket has been closed last week, so the upcoming 2.4 release should fix that.
