ideally the original code should be correctly cleaning up the hooks,
but if it does not, then we don't want to repeatedly present the user
with confusing errors when they try to check their database is ok.
The application name typically comes at the end of the title. As such, many tools grabs the final string as the application name. What Anki does currently causes the profile name to be grabbed, producing unexpected results.
issue is trying to move to the overview screen before the callbacks
on the deck overview screen complete - "fix" it for now by remaining
on the deck list
some users had mpv lying around from previous installs, and the Windows
implementation seems to hang with the idle hook introduced in the
previous build
- allows translations of filename
- allows users to keep multiple collection exports in the same folder
- provides a clearer distinction between deck and collection packages
- the collection/backup .apkg special cases will continue to work in
future 2.1.x releases
- add-ons can ship default config in a config.json file
- users can edit the config in the add-ons dialog, easily syntax-check
the json, and restore it to the defaults
- an optional config.md contains instructions to the user in markdown
format
- config will be preserved when add-on is updated, instead of being
overwritten as is the case when users are required to edit the source
files
A simple example: in config.json:
{"myvar": 5}
In your add-on's code:
from aqt import mw
config = mw.addonManager.getConfig(__name__)
print("var is", config['myvar'])
Add-ons that manage options in their own GUI can have that GUI
displayed when the config button is clicked:
mw.addonManager.setConfigAction(__name__, myOptionsFunc)
- use a main window instead of a dialog, so the menu items of the main
window don't appear while the profile window is active on OS X
- the profile manager now has a button to automatic restoring from
backup, which will prevent old backups from being clobbered
- drop support for profile passwords
- do the right thing when user quits from the menu in profile manager
mode
- unloadCollection() now waits for all collection windows to
indicate they've closed, and calls a callback when it's done
- autosync runs when the collection is unloaded, and is no longer
responsible for reloading it
- make sure backup thread runs until completion
- ensure we return to profile manager when collection can't be loaded
- don't run the profile manager with exec_(), or opening+closing a
broken profile ends up nesting runloops
- warn if a window wasn't cleaned up as part of collection unloading
remove the old forceClose hack in favour of a callback when closing, so
all windows have a chance to save properly before the collection is
unloaded
also:
- fix a warning shown when opening about screen
- require a call to editor.cleanup() when closing a window, to make sure
any pending js callbacks don't try to fire on a deleted object
- make sure we gc webview when closing editcurrent
- main.py still needs refactoring to make use of the change
- embed date in name to make it easier for people to locate correct
backup
- move old backups to the trash instead of deleting outright
- backups in the old format will not be rotated, and will need to be
deleted by the user - if we just deleted them at the start of the
rotation it could lead to data loss for users moving back and forth
between 2.1 and 2.0
the old code was allowing the main thread to read .port before it had
been updated, and was binding to sockets that were already in use on
Windows. instead, we use a system-assigned free port and block the main
thread until it's been allocated
- use a non-daemonized python thread
- shut the server down on exit, including from profile manager
- use a timeout on requests, or the connection that webengine holds open
will block the thread and prevent it from exiting when anki closes
- js code that was previously bundled in .py files is now in the
web folder
- add helpers to create links to bundled files, and update
stdHtml() to accept a list of javascript files to include
instead of text
- render MathJax in card layout and preview screens - these should be
updated in the future to update the document dynamically like the
reviewer does
- start media server earlier so it can be used to serve content for
the toolbar, etc
- work around a bug in WebEngine on Windows that could cause the
media server to hang
