"about" info shipped with Thorium (offline accessible, unlike online doc HTML/EPUB/OPDS)

[danielweck]

Currently XHTML not supported by GitLocalize, but Markdown would work fine (TODO: make "about" info much shorter, display in modal popup instead of loading full EPUB):

https://github.com/edrlab/thorium-reader/tree/develop/src/resources/information

This is for post-3.0 release

I can make a proposal if it helps.

[gautierchomel]

Quick fix from the internal discussion, Thorium 3.1 gets rid of the about / info page packed with Thorium and proposes a direct link to the online thorium about webpage.

Not defined if there is a need to maintain an in app short about panel.

done.

[gautierchomel]

Reopening as we still have no offline information panel.

[gautierchomel]

The proposal is that the "about Thorium" link in the library footer triggers a modal with detailed information and context links to documentation and support.

How does this fit with the custom profile feature? CC @llemeurfr and @panaC

[llemeurfr]

Relationship with the Custom Profiles features: none.

For now:

“About Thorium” at the bottom of the screen stays as-is. This is still Thorium Reader.

Note: The "New version ... " notification still appears on the footer when a new version of Thorium Reader is available. This is a link to the new release page on thorium.edrlab.org.

The EDRLab logo is not removed. It is a link to edrlab.org.

Creating a (markdown) modal instead of a direct link to the website is an additional feature.
