A user has reported that with the latest update, they can't get Kiwix JS Windows to remember the loaded ZIM file, and have to pick it again each time they open the app. While I can't reproduce the issue in quite that way, I have uncovered a similar issue which I believe is in fact this problem. The issue is that with the latest ZIM format (e.g. wikipedia_en_100_2019-01.zim) the app opens the Ray Charles home page even after selecting the new ZIM. However, if the user then searches for an article, they will find that the new ZIM is in fact loaded and is searchable. After going to an article in the new ZIM, the user can press the Home button and will be taken to the new ZIM's home page instead of Ray Charles. From then on, the new ZIM shows as properly loaded, even after a restart.
This behaviour only occurs with the new ZIMs that have indices (possibly also with images) for home pages. I suspect that the app doesn't find some referenced home page and then launches the previously saved page (most likely Ray Charles) instead. This shouldn't be too hard to fix.

This should now be fixed in the dev branch. I'm going to push it to a new release after testing on mobile, because this could cause serious confusion to users.
