@ -30,24 +30,24 @@ Sure, there are a number of available options:
* Export to .json: save the map data to be used in GIS software.
### How can I open a saved .gz or .map file?
Open the generator, click on _Load_ and select the file. Or just drag and drop the file on to the Generator window.

### Can I manually edit save file?
Yes, you can do it using any text editor. However, if you break the formatting the file won't be loading. The common error is that most text editors automatically split embedded svg into separate lines.
### Can I use the Generator offline?
Yes, you can with some limitations. The easies way is to [install the PWA](Q&A#is-there-a-desktop-version). Make sure you open the App when you have connection so that all required files can be cashed on your machine. After that PWA should work offline.
Yes, you can with some limitations. The easiest way is to [install the PWA](Q&A#is-there-a-desktop-version). Make sure you open the App when you have a connection so that all required files can be cached on your machine. After that PWA should work offline.
Another option is to serve the tool locally. Download the [source code](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator/archive/refs/heads/master.zip) and unzip _all files_ from the downloaded archive. Then you need to run a local web-server, follow [the instructions](Run-FMG-locally).
Please note that some functions like alternative Fonts or Styles are not available offline.
### Is there a desktop version?
Modern technologies allow any web-application to be turned into a desktop application that support all features of the web app. There are 2 options supported:
* PWA. Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, etc.) in Windows will prompt you with a big button 'Install'. Just click on it and confirm the installation. Installed tool will be added to your desktop and opened automatically.

* Electron. Download an archive with App for your architecture from the [current release page](https://github.com/Azgaar/Fantasy-Map-Generator/releases/tag/current).
Both versions require Internet connection for the first run. Once app data is loaded to the memory, it may work offline. To update the version just clean up the cache (<key>Alt</key> -> Window -> Clean stored data). For some users desktop application can be a bit faster than web application.

### Which browsers are supported?
The Generator should work in any modern browser except of Safari. The tool is developed using Chrome, so it has the best support. I also try to support the latest Firefox version, but it is reported to have worse performance. Edge 79 and later will also work. Latest Opera and Yandex Browser should work fine as well. Outdated browsers like Internet Explorer are not supported.

You can, but I doubt you will enjoy the experience. The Generator GUI is not suitable for mobile devices and performance is subpar. In general, I would say mobile devices are not supported.
### What about non-English localization?
Localization is planned, but not ready from coding side. Once my part with code support is done, I will inform the community to help me with actual translations. Preparation can take a lot of time as it's not a current priority.

### What does _Azgaar_ mean?
It's my nickname, it has no meaning. The name of the tool is _Azgaar's Fantasy Map generator_, pointing to me as creator. The short form is _FMG_.
