It's not that easy to do. Like I said, Ubooquity has been designed to work with files. What you propose is to "mount" a zip as you would mount any other filesystem.

It would entail too many modifications in my code.

By the way, all book and comics formats are already compressed (a lot of them are already zip files named differently). Storing a lot of them in a big zip file will not save much space.

Hello Probity,

I haven't been able to find much information about flibusta or inpx files (all the pages were in Russian, a language I can't read).

But in any case, Ubooquity has been designed around the concept of one file per book. So unless you can convert your library into individual (epub/PDF/...) files, using Ubooquity for your library will not be possible.

Thanks, I'll get it.

If the problem is the version of RAR (5) though, there is no solution in sight as junrar does not support it:

Could you send it to me as well ?

It will be useful for testing Junrar versions.

Hi Bollings,

Yes, the project is still alive !

I know it's been a while since I released a version.

There are several reasons for that, the youngest of these being just over one year old. ;)

The main feature I want to add for now is the display of the reading status for books and comics (unread, in progress, finished). For that I have to modify the user interface a bit.

So I decided to change the way pages are rendered (using templates instead of code) and implement full pages themes (allowing the theming of the HTML structure, not just CSS and image).

It's been a bit dull and painful to do, hence the lack of release for a long time.

I don't know when the next one will be (I stopped giving estimates a long time ago), but I'd like to be done with this one to be able to go back to a more regular release period.

So yes, still working on it !

I'm glad you could solve your issue.

Out of curiosity, did you have some OutOfMemoryError messages in your logs when the problem was happening ?

Did this problem happen several times ?

Well, this new Junrar version will fix some issues at least (I am now able to read some files that resulted in errors before), so it is worth the change anyway.

(although I would prefer people completely stopping using RAR files, but that's another story ;))
