What desktop are you using?
Comment 3 Jose Manuel López 2024-04-24 10:30:28 CEST
I have tested it in two different desktop environments: Plasma and Lxqt
Comment 4 Lewis Smith 2024-04-24 21:39:12 CEST
Mageia 9, LxQt. Installed & tried GUI. Picking a PDF file to add, it took ages. Clicking on it ended in:

Failed to open file “%2Fhome%2Flewis%2F.local%2Fshare%2Fcom.github.babluboy.bookworm%2Fbooks%2FClearview%20Brochure%20Oct%202012.pdf%2FClearview%20Brochure%20Oct%202012.pdf_1.html”: No such file or directory

Yet:
$ ls .local/share/com.github.babluboy.bookworm/books/Clearview\ Brochure\ Oct\ 2012.pdf/
...
'Clearview Brochure Oct 2012.pdf_1.html'
...

Given that %2F = /, %20 = space, everything looks correct: the pathname it fails to open does exist. Confirms the complaint.

Any news about this?

I see in app repo the last version since 2019.

Perhaps we shold mark this package as obsolete, If it is not worth repairing the package.

Feel free to do it and close the buy if is necessary.

Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 10

Seems dead upstream, so yes we should consider to remove it from our distro.
