- field changes are now applied when user closes dialog with save
button, in bulk
- models diag now fetches note type and saves it as required, instead
of holding on top a copy that can grow stale as changes are made in
subdialogs
- both dialogs now perform operations in the backend
- note.model() now fetches the note type on the fly, instead of
holding on to a copy that may become stale
- notetypes are fetched from the DB as needed, and cached in Python
- handle note type changes in the backend. Multiple operations can now
be performed in one go, but this is not currently exposed in the GUI.
- extra methods to grab sorted note type names quickly, and fetch by
name
- col.models.save() without a provided notetype is now a no-op
- note loading/saving handled in the backend
- notes with no valid cards can now be added
- templates can now be deleted even if they would previously
orphan notes
a number of fixmes have been left in notes.py and models.py
I created multiple add-ons which want to transform a note before it is
being saved. For example, one add-on trim it, and remove useless line
break which arrived by accident.
Another add-on want to compile LaTeX as soon as the note is done, and
warn the user if LaTeX can't be compiled.
Having a hook in pre-flush would be useful here
- _renderQA() has moved to template.py:render_card()
- dropped QAData in favour of a properly typed dict
- render_card() returns a TemplateRenderOutput struct instead of a dict
- card_did_render now takes that output as the first arg, and can
mutate it
- TemplateRenderContext now stores the original card, so it can return
a card even in the add screen case
The old mungeFields and mungeQA hook have been removed as part of this
change. mungeQA can be replaced with the card_did_render hook.
In the mungeFields case, please switch to using field_filter instead.
