Experiment with ignoring dirMod and scanning the folder for changes on
each sync. Use scandir() for better performance. Please let me know if
this causes a noticeable slowdown for you.
- 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.
