- 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
- mtime is tracked on each key individually, which will allow
merging of config changes when syncing in the future
- added col.(get|set|remove)_config()
- in order to support existing code that was mutating returned
values (eg col.conf["something"]["another"] = 5), the returned list/dict
will be automatically wrapped so that when the value is dropped, it
will save the mutated item back to the DB if it's changed. Code that
is fetching lists/dicts from the config like so:
col.conf["foo"]["bar"] = baz
col.setMod()
will continue to work in most case, but should be gradually updated to:
conf = col.get_config("foo")
conf["bar"] = baz
col.set_config("foo", conf)
- tag list stored in a separate DB table
- non-wildcard searches now do full unicode case folding
(eg tag:masse matches 'Maße')
- wildcard matches do simple unicode case folding
- some functions haven't been updated yet, so ascii folding will
continue to be used in some operations
This uses exactly the same code, with one exception. In the previewer
`self` became `self.parent` in order to have action on the
browser. And in the browser, some `self` become `self.previewer` to
access the previewer. (Some function having an action on the previewer
starting from the browser now are separated in two. One version in the
previewer doing the same thing. One version in the browser, calling
the version in the previewer if it exists.)
Preview dialog now takes a QWidget in general, not necesarrily a
Browser. The parameter is called parent
This code was an awful hack to provide some semblance of UI
responsiveness while executing DB statements on the main thread.
Instead, we can just run DB statements in a background thread now,
keeping the UI responsive.
