Saves having to serialize the note fields and q/a templates, which
is particularly a win when rendering question/answer in the browse
screen.
Also some work towards being able to preview notes without having to
commit them to the database.
- notes with wrong field count are now recovered instead of
being deleted
- notes with missing note types are now recovered
- notes with missing cards are now recovered
- recover_missing_deck() still needs implementing
- checks required
- field changes are now applied when user closes dialog with save
button, in bulk
- models diag now fetches note type and saves it as required, instead
of holding on top a copy that can grow stale as changes are made in
subdialogs
- both dialogs now perform operations in the backend
- note.model() now fetches the note type on the fly, instead of
holding on to a copy that may become stale
Previously if the sum of child counts was above the parent's limit,
the deck tree would show a parent count above the parent's limit, and
clicking on the parent would show a lower count. The new deck tree
code never shows a parent count above the parent's limit, so this
part of the test is no longer valid.
- notetypes are fetched from the DB as needed, and cached in Python
- handle note type changes in the backend. Multiple operations can now
be performed in one go, but this is not currently exposed in the GUI.
- extra methods to grab sorted note type names quickly, and fetch by
name
- col.models.save() without a provided notetype is now a no-op
- note loading/saving handled in the backend
- notes with no valid cards can now be added
- templates can now be deleted even if they would previously
orphan notes
a number of fixmes have been left in notes.py and models.py
While it makes no sense to have the typing box on the front without
another non-empty field, "the front of this card is empty" when
a typing box is on the template seems to be confusing some users, so
it is clearer to show them the box.
