"Reload" button not working in packaged apps #584

Closed Jaifroid closed 3 months ago

Jaifroid commented 3 months ago

If a user has loaded a different archive from the packaged archive, e.g. WikiMed in a different language, the small "Reload" button that appears next to the name of the packaged archive in Configuration fails to re-load the packaged archive. This archive can't be "picked" by the user using file pickers, due to its in-app location. The symptoms are: 1. nothing happens; 2. in console it says it cannot locate the archive directory, and gives a spurious system directory.

There is a workaround, which is to use the Reset button. Then the packaged archive is re-loaded.
