If you would prefer that ANSIView not attempt to extract .zip files,
then add '*.zip' to the 'hide' list as described above.
5) Connect your BBS to some online ANSI & ASCII art archives
The following section of 'xtrn/ansiview/settings.ini' is commented
out by default:
;[electronic chicken bbs]
;description = An online archive of ANSI and ASCII artwork
;module = ecbbs.js
;cache = true
;cachettl = 86400
You can enable access to this online archive by removing the semicolons
from the beginning of each line of the section.
Please consider leaving the 'cache' value set to 'true' (without quotes),
as this will reduce the amount of traffic between your system and the
online archive.
If caching is enabled, each file that your user opens on the online
archive will be downloaded and saved to your local system, and it will
not be deleted unless you take steps to do so manually. The caches are
stored in 'xtrn/ansiview/.cache/'. If they start to consume too much
space, you can delete them without causing any problems.
The 'cachettl' value determines the time-to-live, in seconds, for cached
web API responses. Data will be refreshed after this amount of time
passes. (Note that this applies to things like file lists, and not to
files themselves.) 86400 seconds is 24 hours.
Some caching is done either way, but if 'cache' is set to false, the
cache will be cleared after your user logs off.
