kiwix-desktop VS kiwix-js-pwa

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.

WikiMed by Kiwix is now at v2.7.4. The packages for 64bit and 32bit Linux and Windows contain the October 2023 WikiMed English ZIM (mdwiki_en_all_maxi_2023-10), together with the changes in the CHANGELOG. The Electron app uses Electron v22.3.25.

Release packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, AppImage, Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10/11: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/tag/v2.5.0

The packages contain the March 2023 WikiMed English ZIM (mdwiki_en_all_maxi_2023-03), because there have been no new updated MDWiki ZIM archives since March, together with the changes in the CHANGELOG (also copied below). The Electron app uses Electron v22.3.8.

Release: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/tag/v2.4.6-Wikivoyage

Please note that Zimit support in the PWA is experimental, and it may struggle with highly dynamic content. Any issues can be reported to me here. Kiwix devs will be working on standardized (and hopefully more universal) Zimit support across the range of apps, with dedicated developer focus planned for the end of May.

u/verrucagnome This fix is now released in v2.4.0: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/tag/v2.4.0 and the PWA https://pwa.kiwix.org (let it update to v2.4.0).

u/Nibb31 There's no need to run it in Docker, as you can compile the Electron versions on either Linux or Windows simply by cloning the Repo and running npm install --save-dev, then npm start to test, or npm run dist-linux (or dist-win), to make packages. See scripts in package.json. It uses electron-builder to build the apps, in case you're familiar with its CLI.

The packages contain the December 2022 WikiMed English ZIM (mdwiki_en_all_maxi_2022-12), together with the changes in the CHANGELOG. The Electron app uses Electron v18.3.15.
