Btw: has adding thumbnail image support to the ZIM file format been
considered? This would be very handy for a ZIM file selector in a
tablet or phone UI.
ZIM is able to store anything, also pictures. Most of the ZIM files
are with thumbnails.
I think Douglas wanted to know if it was possible to add a picture to
the meta-data of the ZIM itself ; like the name & author, so that a ZIM
collection library can be viewed with pictures only (on a phone).
Douglas, the answer is yes ; Almost all (if not all) ZIM produced by
Kiwix includes a thumbnail.
Yes, this is the question I had in mind, and I see now it in the ZIM
file format specification of the metadata: 'A favicon (48x48) is also
mandatory and should be located at /-/favicon '
Thanks,
Douglas
