Up until now, we've been forcing a new search whenever reset is called.
The primary reason was that the card list display routines did not expect
a card or note to have been removed. By updating the model to show
"(deleted)" when a card or note is missing, we no longer have to repeat
the search.
This has a few advantages:
- Searches, especially complex ones, can be slow to execute. When we
perform them after every operation like a delete, it can make Anki feel
sluggish.
- The fact that notes have been deleted becomes more obvious - some users
found it easy to miss the "deleted" pop-up in the past.
This change does not just affect deletions, as many other operations
trigger a reset as well. In the past, when using 'set due date' in the
review screen for example, it caused an ugly flicker in the browser screen,
and could be slow when the current search couldn't be quickly redone.
The disadvantage of this approach is that the displayed content may
not reflect the specified search, which has the potential to be confusing.
But if that turns out to be a problem, it could be (partly) alleviated by
displaying a refresh button next to the search bar when the search may
need to be refreshed.
Feedback welcome!
Work in progress - still to do:
- renames appear as 'Update Deck' - easiest way to solve it would
be to have a separate backend method for renames
- drag&drop of decks not yet undoable
- since the undo status is updated after the backend method ends,
the older checkpoint() calls need to be replaced with an
update_undo_status() at the end of the call - if we just remove the
checkpoint, then the menu doesn't get updated
This splits update_card() into separate undoable/non-undoable ops
like the change to notes in b4396b94abdeba3347d30025c5c0240d991006c9
It means that actions get a blanket 'Update Card' description - in the
future we'll probably want to either add specific actions to the backend,
or allow an enum or string to be passed in to describe the op.
Other changes:
- card.flush() can no longer be used to add new cards. Card creation
is only supposed to be done in response to changes in a note's fields,
and this functionality was only exposed because the card generation
hadn't been migrated to the backend at that point. As far as I'm aware,
only Arthur's "copy notes" add-on used this functionality, and that should
be an easy fix - when the new note is added, the associated cards will
be generated, and they can then be retrieved with note.cards()
- tidy ups/PEP8
- note.flush() behaves like before, as otherwise actions or add-ons
that perform bulk flushing would end up creating an undo entry for
each note
- added col.update_note() to opt in to the new behaviour
- tidy up the names of some related routines
- transact() now automatically clears card queues unless an op
opts-out (and currently only AnswerCard does). This means there's no
risk of forgetting to clear the queues in an operation, or when undoing/
redoing
- CollectionOp->UndoableOp
- clear queues when redoing "answer card", instead of clearing redo
when clearing queues
- Since we need to show this to new users until AnkiDroid is updated,
use a wording that doesn't seem so out of place to new users.
- Avoid mentioning syncing, since the user may not sync, and the
modSchema() call will allow the user to confirm anyway.
- Let the user know they can change their mind about AnkiDroid by
visiting the preferences.
- Rework V2 upgrade so that it no longer resets cards in learning,
or empties filtered decks.
- V1 users will receive a message at the top of the deck list
encouraging them to upgrade, and they can upgrade directly from that
screen.
- The setting in the preferences screen has been removed, so users
will need to use an older Anki version if they wish to switch back to
V1.
- Prevent V2 exports with scheduling from being importable into a V1
collection - the code was previously allowing this when it shouldn't
have been.
- New collections still default to v1 at the moment.
Also add helper to get map of decks and deck configs, as there were
a few places in the codebase where that was required.
'Current deck' has moved, and by removing 'due tomorrow', we can drop
the 'today' suffix on the rest of the items.
The keys of the existing translations have not been changed, so
existing translations will not break, but will need to be manually
updated to make them shorter.
The old rescheduling dialog's two options have been split into two
separate menu items, "Forget", and "Set Due Date"
For cards that are not review cards, "Set Due Date" behaves like the
old reschedule option, changing the cards into a review card, and
and setting both the interval and due date to the provided number of
days.
When "Set Due Date" is applied to a review card, it no longer resets
the card's interval. Instead, it looks at how much the provided number
of days will change the original interval, and adjusts the interval by
that amount, so that cards that are answered earlier receive a smaller
next interval, and cards that are answered after a longer delay receive
a bonus.
For example, imagine a card was answered on day 5, and given an interval
of 10 days, so it has a due date of day 15.
- if on day 10 the due date is changed to day 12 (today+2), the card
is being scheduled 3 days earlier than it was supposed to be, so the
interval will be adjusted to 7 days.
- and if on day 10 the due date is changed to day 20, the interval will
be changed from 10 days to 15 days.
There is no separate option to reset the interval of a review card, but
it can be accomplished by forgetting the card(s), and then setting the
desired due date.
Other notes:
- Added the action to the review screen as well.
- Set the shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+D, and changed the existing Delete
Tags shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A.
- Closes#976
- Added helper to apply arbitrary colour to an icon.
- Fix#979 - low res icons in night mode.
- The icons and colours are not perfect - please feel free to send
through a PR if you can improve them.
- Convert colors dictionary into module consts, so we can
use code completion.
- Added "Edited Today" and "Due Tomorrow"
- Rename camelCase attribute to snake_case and tweak the wording
of some enum constants. We've already broken compatibility with the
major sidebar add-ons, so we may as well make these changes while we
can.
- Removed Filter button. Currently there is no exposed way to toggle
the Sidebar off - wonder if we still need it?
