The old yihui.org/tinytex/TinyTeX-1.zip link now 404s, so the LaTeX engine could never be installed. Download now tries the GitHub tinytex-releases assets first and falls back through a couple of mirrors instead of giving up on the first failing source. After the base install, tlmgr now also pulls in most TeX Live collections (fonts, math/science, graphics, extra LaTeX, bibliography, European languages, etc.), so the bundled distribution ships with close to the full package set instead of just the ~30 base packages.
Compiling several .tex sources produced one output card per file, each with its own "Salva con nome..." dialog -- with a batch of documents that meant clicking through dozens of save dialogs one at a time. Outputs are now grouped by type (PDF / HTML): each group gets a single button that packs every file of that type into one ZIP and saves it in one shot. Single-file compiles keep the plain "Salva con nome..." save, and HTML files still get their individual preview button. Adds a small dependency-free ZIP writer (desktop/zip.js) since the project has no archiving library yet.
