Don't work with zim files on SD card in SFOS 3

Mon, 2019/04/15 - 12:50

Zimpedia tries to find ZIM files in the following dirs (and sub-dirs):
- /home/nemo
- /media/sdcard
- /run/media/nemo (only if /media/sdcard doesn't exist)

Is your ZIM file located under any of above directories? If yes, maybe something is wrong with the file? Maybe is corrupted? Do you see anything suspicious in the log (std output)?

It does not find my *.zim file on sd-card on xperiax.
Where does it look for the sd-card? Maybe I can make a symlink.

Wed, 2018/09/05 - 22:28

Zimpedia searches for any *.zim files in any directories under: /home/nemo and /media/sdcard. Symlinks are skipped from search acctually.

Where do you put you zim file?

Thu, 2018/09/06 - 00:41

Yes, a new zim file format. Don't work anymore with older clients:

ok, thanks. I found out, that the wikivoyage.zim ist working, the wikipedia_2018_06.zim not. The checksum is ok, I downloaded it twice. I thnk it has something to do with this post:

kiwix forum

seems, they have a newer zim format now. I first try now to download the 2018_05 version and give them a try.

Thu, 2018/09/06 - 15:11

Ooo! Thanks for the info. I will try to update ZIM library in my code. New release will be soon.

Thu, 2018/09/06 - 23:07

edit zim file with hex editor

Here is a temporary solution:

Desktop the version can use images that split to 2 Gbytes volumes.
Zimpedia can't.
It would be convenient for the SD card with FAT

Sat, 2017/10/07 - 17:41

You right. I will try to implement (maybe next release) splited files as well. In the meantime, the workaroud is to format SD card with ext4 file system.

Finally a built-in web viewer!!! Thanks a million man.

Can you send me the french translation file? I can contribute in my own way from that perspective. I am still not conversant on how to use transifex plus it is easier on me and can do it at any leasure time without connecting to the net.

Does this new version require Sailfish OS 2.1? Tried installing it but nothing provides QT5 was the error i got

> Can you send me the french translation file

Sure. You can download it from https://github.com/mkiol/Zimpedia/tree/master/sailfish/translations

> Does this new version require Sailfish OS 2.1

I tested it only on SOS 2.1, but I should be working on any 2.x. "Nothing provides QT5.." - that sounds pretty weird.

Great new version, thanx a lot!

One question, is it possible to search case unsensitiv? That would make it easier to find things.

Tue, 2017/05/30 - 13:01

I will research it but it seams that there is no easy way to implement case-insensitive search. Here is link to github issue: https://github.com/mkiol/Zimpedia/issues/16

Thanx for looking into it. If i can support zimpedia in any way, except programming (unfortunatly no skills on my side) let me know.

A lot of time dreamed about this app. Thank you very much. But now is needed another feature.

As far as project data changes and extends аsynchronously for different languages; and ecspecially I used 4+ languages to get what I need:
Please implement function to read wikipage online with saving them to read offline later(page changes view also preferable).

Tue, 2017/05/30 - 13:21

Thank you for your suggestion and for finding Zimpedia useful!

> function to read wikipage online with saving them to read offline

Sorry, but it goes much beyond the scope of what Zimpedia should be. Zimpedia serves data that are stored inside local ZIM repositories. I don't want to change this approach.

> I used 4+ languages to get what I need

I'm planning to add feature that allows to simultaneous search multiple ZIM files. Maybe it is a solution for your use case.

Finally with 1.1-0 large zim files work on the tablet. Thanks a lot!

Maybe the file browser could be improved to show the path and file sizes.

And once a zim is open, I would like to see the startpage of that zim or at least the name of the currently opened zim (like in Kiwix).

Fri, 2016/03/25 - 11:55

Thanks for ideas. All will be in next release.

If you are familir with QT translation tool, please make Github's pull-request with new ts file - https://github.com/mkiol/Zimpedia/tree/master/sailfish/translations.

Great job!

An accesible offline Wikipedia is perfect in a mobile phone :)

But I have an issue. I have dowloaded the full Spanish Wikipedia non-indexed zim file (http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_es_all.zim). Everything works fine, but when I open an article, the images don't show, only a question mark inside a blue square. Is posible to fix that problem?

Thanks again mkiol for your effort bringing us the knowledge!

Tue, 2016/01/12 - 09:50

Unfortunately your ZIM file is too large for me to do test. Anyway, please check latest version (1.0-5). I've fixed few bugs and maybe one of them was causing the problem.

Hi mkiol!

First of all, thank you very much for your efforts! Your new version of Zimpedia works flawlessly now. At last, files till 12Gb works perfect with Zimpedia 1.0-5 on Sailfish 2.0.0.10 in a SDCard of 32Gb with BTRFS file system.

If you need testers I can test very large files without problem, so ask me if you need.

Thank you very much again for your work!

I have found a further quite strange issue. I don't know if Zimpedia or the ZIM file itself is responsible for this bahaviour:

There are some articles which opens the wrong thing. For Example if you seach the German wikipdia for Fuß (which means foot) the article Fuad is opened (which is an arabian first name)

Edit: I've checked it now with kiwix. Here the correct article gets opened.

@pelzlurch

Thank you for finding this bug. There was an issue in parsing non-latin characters. It will be fixed in next release.

Thanks a lot, works fine from SD card.

Does it also support pre-indexed ZIMs?
