[Xowa-general] bug at wikibooks

[treaki <tr...@tr...>]

hi,

i have tryed out xowa today and i have to say i am very impressed. But i
guess i have discovered a bug at site title settings if there are more
then one pages put together to a big page like at wikibooks print
versions. I have created a screenshot to show the problem exemplary:

http://treaki.tk/upload/uploads/1408208633/140816_bug_xowa_wikibooks.png

also i have some feature requests:

offline mode - a mode that ensures me that no internet connection is
opened and links which would be opened in the browser will require a
confirmation.

(download) progress window - a window where it is possible to view the
download/import progress a little better as in the status bar

cancel import - also in the progress window sould be a way to stop
running processes, the only way i fond for that was restarting the
programm (i started a download by mistake)

manage wikis: delete - delete downloaded wikis (after i have canceled my
download by restarting xowa i had to remove the files manually

keep up the good work

greetings treaki

space... But thanks for the tip.

i fully understand that, it is totally confusing to jump between two
projects... one after another is better;)

sounds good

Replying to some points below. Let me know if I missed anything.

Also, I resolved the de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kochbuch/_Druckversion issue for
v1.8.4 (next Monday). I like to give credit to users for discovering
defects. You'd get a line in the XOWA Change log with something like this:

* ParserFunctions: Restrict displaytitle to title name when disabled
(affects: wrong display title showing up on a page); EX:{{DISPLAYTITLE:Not
the page title}}. See: https://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Kochbuch/_Druckversion
{detected by treaki}

Let me know if you want to be referred to as treaki, or if you'd rather not
be mentioned at all.

Thanks.

Keep in mind the images for de.wikibooks.org is barely 600 MB. So if you
want that wiki only, I can upload a smaller copy that is separate from the
main debundle.

Okay. Just so you know, I use it all the time, so it works as advertised. ;)
