Installing hotspot installer on Windows
OK, I found this in the CHANGELOG:
-
Can I pull the power on a headless Zero 2 W running Kiwix Hotspot?
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

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

Hotspot installer 2.4 is out!
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:
-
Kiwix pi hotspot not working.
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.

Search a document/file on Macbook M1?
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.

It's been out for a couple of weeks, but in case you didn't see it, check out Kiwix Desktop 2.3.0

Not enough storage available
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.

How to open multiple .zim files?
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

Please, how do I make hardlinks like on Windows tablet? My company requires a legacy app -- Kiwix -- but it doesn't support external storage on my tablet, even though the OTG drive shows up fdine in everything else, so I am trying to hardlink like in Windows or Linux. Android uses Linux kernel&FS?
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)

We Developed A Tool To Make A Copy Of Most
Hmm, the first thing to do in this case is open a ticket on github: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-desktop/issues
