have observed users doing a collection export to their desktop, then
thinking that double clicking the collection file was the way to
start Anki in the future
- 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
- drop support for $$ in favour of separate opening and closing tags
- add shortcuts to add mathjax
- don't highlight any clozes in blue if field contains mathjax chars
the shortcut keys are handled by webengine on platforms other than
osx, so rather than messing with an event filter we catch the cut and
copy events in js and send a signal back
- 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)
- handle unpickling of anki 2.0 prefs
- copy the prefs on first load, as python2 is not capable of reading the
protocol 3 pickles we write for proper bytes support
- when there's an error unpickling, write a clean copy of the
preferences instead of forgetting all profiles and starting from scratch
- separate dialog for managing add-ons
- only add-ons compatible with Anki 2.1 will be shown on AnkiWeb
- can delete or toggle disabled on multiple add-ons at once
- check for updates button
- button to view add-on's AnkiWeb page
The new handling drops support for single file .py add-ons, and requires
add-ons to store all files in a single folder. This ensures all files
are cleaned up properly when updating or deleting an add-on, and
prevents file conflicts between separate add-ons. See the updated
add-on docs for more:

README.addons has been moved to the above page
This is meant to more closely replicate Anki 2.0.x`s _addButton method
than the current one does. Its primary purpose is to reduce the
boilerplate code needed for add-on authors to implement a new button
alongside its hotkey.
Anki 2.0.x provided add-on authors with the ability to define
labels that could be used instead of icons. This commit reintroduces
that ability and makes the use of an icon optional.
- 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
when modal, the program hangs on OS X when moving back and forth
between the main window and the profile manager, and I haven't been able
to find a better workaround
.update() ignores user input when processing events, so this will
hopefully not break things
- 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
Users can now mark individual cards with one of four different coloured
flags, instead of relying on a tag that applied to the whole note.
- replaced marking functionality in reviewer and browser with new
flag options
- added flag:x search
- marked and leech tags now show in normal tag list in filter screen,
instead of being treated specially
- the other clients will need updating to set and shown the flags, but
flags set in the beta should be preserved by the other clients
- the bulk of image use is in webviews, so we move almost all used
images to web/imgs, as it's easier to manage
- change AnkiWebView to always use the local media server as a base, as
much of the UI has come to depend on it
- remove images from a few areas, as they felt dated
- delete a bunch of unused images
- href=# links were being opened in a browser window, so the code now
ignores them - the HTML should really be updated to return false in the
onclick handler
- update a few icons
use a pop-up menu instead, which saves a lot of screen real estate and
should be more intuitive for new users
also:
- add options to manage note types and clear unused tags in the relevant
submenus
- shuffle a few shortcut keys
- remove the old favourites code - saving and removing now done via the
menu
- individual card templates now searchable
you can use the debug console to define custom html/css/js to be added
to the bottom of the reviewer on all note types, so to increase the fade
time on the question you'd use
mw.col.conf["reviewExtra"]="<script>qFade=500;</script>"
mw.col.setMod()
also make sure the fading for question/answer is used correctly in
previewer, and use answer fading in clayout to speed it up
- tabs became difficult to read when users had a lot of templates, so we
use a combobox instead
- move the More button to the top and integrate adding/removing
templates
- start with no focus to avoid accidental modifications
- display confirmation before adding template
- remove 'edit to customize' text that some users had trouble editing
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
setHtml() and deferred js now share a single queue, to ensure that js
calls are delivered to the correct page
also remove the onLoadFinished hook, which is no longer used
This reverts commit 331239de05.
This commit caused the blur event from the editor to fire after the saveNow()
callback had run, which broke the reviewer when returning from editcurrent.
Reverting for now, as the actual error is harmless AFAICT.
there were a number of issues with preloading:
- it could result in duplicate IDs in the document
- embedded styles failed to apply, because a preloaded item was
overriding them
- the type answer code needed rewriting to support it
so we're back to something closer to the old approach - a single node
that we fade out, update, and then fade in again. this means there's a
longer delay when revealing mathjax, but should minimize the breakage of
existing notes
this fixes a bug where navigating to the next/previous card using
shortcut keys resulted in the first field being clobbered
- get rid of the stealFocus option in favour of explicitly passing
focusTo to setNote()
- setFields() is no longer responsible for setting focus
- add focusTo var to the browser so that the row changed hook can
restore focus when navigating to next/previous card
- fix the row changed hook being called twice
- the blur event now includes the field number instead of relying on the
editor to have the correct currentField
- the current field is set to null on blur
- use deferred js and a callback rather than keeping track of when we
were loaded
- add shift+tab shortcut to go to previous field
- to minimize pop-in of images and mathjax, fade the previous card
out and fade the next card in
- render the answer at the same time as the question so it can be
shown immediately
- move reviewer css to separate file
- remove image preloading code that should no longer be necessary
- 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
