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:
