- 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
we can't use an event filter on the top level webview, because it
ignores the return value of the filter and leads to Anki thinking
keys have been pressed twice
and if we use an event filter on the focusProxy(), the
keypress/release events are sent even when a text field is currently
focused, leading to shortcuts being triggered when typing in the answer
to solve this, we move away from handling the key press events
directly, and instead install shortcuts for the events we want to
trigger. in addition to the global shortcuts, each state can install
its own shortcuts, which we remove when transitioning to a new state
also remove the unused canFocus argument to ankiwebview, and accept a parent
argument as required by the code in forms/
- key presses while a webview is focused no longer make it to the
main window's keyPressEvent() routine, so AnkiWebView now uses its
event filter to pass the key events to the main window
- move the shared key handling out of keyPressEvent into
globalKeyHandler()
- make sure all key handling routines return true or false to
indicate if an event was handled or not
- remove focus when esc hit in the main window, to retain old
behaviour of allowing esc to clear focus from the type answer box
onClose() was calling closeAllWindows(), which sends a close signal
to dialogs without force=True, causing them to fire an asynchronous
save event that calls back after the collection has been closed
instead we just rely on the fact that unloadCollection() closes all
collection windows
we do the backup compression/writing in a separate thread so it
doesn't slow down profile switching/syncing, and remove the option
to write uncompressed backups
the strip html option is no longer used, so remove it from preferences
