Kiwix 0.9 keeps asking to re-index .zim files. #358

I'm on Windows 10 64-bit. I downloaded the Kiwix 0.9 with English Wikipedia, and it works fine. However, I later downloaded another .zim file and had it opened by Kiwix. Kiwix took a while to index that file. However, everytime I sign out (log out) of the windows account and sign in again, Kiwix forgets that file (and the file disappears from library) and asks me to re-index that file. Apparently, it doesn't take any time to re-index that file, fortunately. Still, is there any way to fix that issue?

Btw, I also need to kill the xulrunner process every time I close Kiwix and reopen it again. Happens in both Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 10 64-bit.

@khanhhung2512 I do not have an easy answer. It looks like the local library xml file is not updated correctly. Regarding the last bug, a few people already reported it... but I was not able to reproduce it. We are currently working on the next generation of Kiwix reader and we hope these bugs will be fixed.

New version 2.0 of Kiwix Desktop does not allow to index content, as the index is already embedded in the ZIM file. This solve the bug.
