General

  • It would be great if users who wanted to give feedback could either edit it here OR send a mail. Perhaps kiwix-feedback@ ? Tomasz 04:06, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
I have created feedback@kiwix.org pointing to ML kiwix-feedback@lists.sourceforge.net (private) where you, Jessie and me are there as reader. Kelson 21:24, 18 August 2011 (CEST)

Windows

Linux

  • Files that have been deleted on disk still show up in content manager. Perhaps we can grey these out or remove them all together?
  • remove them all together would be great!! Jwild 03:54, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
  • for pages with italicized titles, the tab titles render strangely (for example, The Lion King = " The Lion King") Jwild 03:54, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
I can not reproduce the problem, here is the issue. What is the file you use exactly? Here is was I get : http://tmp.kiwix.org/tmp/screenshot_italic_title_issue.png Kelson 21:52, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
I added a note to the sourceforge bug that I filed awhile ago which contains the picture and the information. I am using Kiwix 0.9 beta 2 with th en wikipedia 0.8. Jwild 03:03, 19 August 2011 (CEST)
  • Is it possible to add the keyboard shortcuts to close tabs (CTRL+W) and navigate between tabs (CTRL+Page Up or CTRL+Page Down)? Jwild 03:54, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
I can also not reproduce that problem, CTRL+w (close current tab) and CTRL+W (close all tabs) were implemented in beta2 and work for me. Il will implement the other shortcuts. Kelson 21:57, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
ok, I went through and tested and re-tested...it closes sometimes but not consistently (nor often). For example, if I have 3 tabs open and press CTRL+W (close all tabs), it asks if I want to do that. If I press "No", then I cannot use "CTRL+W" again if those same 3 tabs are open (if I open a 4th, then it will register that request again). For the CTRL+w: if I open three tabs in a row, then move back to one of the previous tabs (1st or 2nd), I cannot use the shortcut on any tab.Jwild 03:03, 19 August 2011 (CEST)
  • Start a content manager download. Then go to "My library" and delete a file. You'll notice that your download has stopped. We should keep downloading it in the background regardless of what i'm doing. Tomasz 19:22, 18 August 2011 (CEST)

praise

  • Great that I have the option of closing any of the tabs that I have open (was not the case in Beta1)! Jwild 03:54, 18 August 2011 (CEST)
  • Love the new images showing up in the "Get New Files" library Jwild 03:54, 18 August 2011 (CEST)

OSX

  • When a download finishes a window pops up that says "Download finished" .. followed by a second line of text saying the exact same thing.
  • Opening an openZim file after Kiwix is already running causes a second window to load. The second window looks great and its content manager is correct. But the primary window does not have the newly opened collection leading to confusion.
