Moving Zim Files from Download folder to another Drive/Folder about apple HOT 3 CLOSED

@marcelb3 What about moving the files manually and the sideload them one by one manually in Kiwix?

from apple.

If this is for macOS, you have 2 options:
Option 1)
a loaded file can be manually moved to a new place outside of Kiwix. The best is to close Kiwix for this operation. Once you moved the file, and re-open Kiwix, in the Library / Opened section you will see a yellow rectangle, indicating that the file cannot be found. Once you select it you will have the option to "Locate" it:

If you point it to the new location, it should start working again as before.

Option 2)
Under Library/Opened you can select the ZIM file, and "Unlink" it. This will remove everything Kiwix "knows" about this file, (including where it can be found). It will not delete the file itself. You can then move the file to a new location, double click on the file and Kiwix will "re-import" it. For this option you don't even need to close Kiwix.

The real difference between Option 1 and Option 2:

• If you have bookmarks associated with the file, go for Option 1, as this way they will be preserved.
• if it's a fresh ZIM file, without any bookmarks, Option 2 will be equally good.
