kiwix-tools VS zim-tools

You're saying the fix is merged in https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools? I looked at the commit history after 3.4.0 and didn't see anything relevant to this. Did I miss it, or is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Not 7Zip, but there are Kiwix Tools that allow you to explore the ZIIM, and of course various readers for different Operating Systems that render article HTML

u/RedditNoobie777, the library is served by a piece of software called Kiwix Serve, and issues with it (which might include what it displays, what it should display) are on this GitHub: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues . I think before you could help categorize, it would be necessary for the software to be updated to display information like whether an archive is mini or maxi, and the date of the archive. There is an issue for the date: https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues/551 . Displaying the filename on the tile would be a quick solution, as it currently has all the information.

Have you checked https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues ?

thanks for the link. I didn't find this yet but some kiwix-serve repository which I can't find now anymore. Found some related issues there I.e. https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-tools/issues/518 They mention an option allowing to set the url-path, I left a question there if it was possible to do so with the docker image as well.

Kiwix is an offline reader that allows users to browse entire copies of Wikipedia (ca. 83Gb for the whole thing, incl. images), StackExchange (new release coming up soon), the Gutenberg project, etc. stored locally. The project is fully FOSS (here's the git repo) and the subreddit is r/Kiwix.

I rummaged a bit and found a super old feature request on Sourceforge specifically asking for compatibility with non-JS browsers, including lynx. That would be for Kiwix-serve (which you can find here)

I setup an offline version using Kiwix-serve Tools. Essentially you: Get up to speed here: https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve Download for example 'wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2021-03.zim' from Here: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/ en = English - all_maxi = all content. Setup a web server using the kiwix-tools for example 'kiwix-tools_win-i686-3.1.2.zip' from here: https://download.kiwix.org/release/kiwix-tools/

It looks like Kiwix uses the ZIM file format, which appears to have diffing support [0] (see zimdiff and zimpatch). That said, it doesn't look like Kiwix actually publishes those diffs.

One problem that remains is to bring the access to insight webpage to the ".zim" format that the kiwix app can process. Here it seems the only way to do that is a tool called "zimwriterfs" that can be found in another opensource project that defines the basis of the offline reader format and is used by kiwix I believe. https://github.com/openzim/zim-tools ...this was no problem for me, as the tool can be accessed easily from standard linux distributions like ubuntu. Creating the .zim file from the unzipped access to insight offline version is a single command line, after preparing a little icon that will be used for the site in kiwix. There seems to be no windows version of that tool available though...
