Saves having to serialize the note fields and q/a templates, which
is particularly a win when rendering question/answer in the browse
screen.
Also some work towards being able to preview notes without having to
commit them to the database.
- notes with wrong field count are now recovered instead of
being deleted
- notes with missing note types are now recovered
- notes with missing cards are now recovered
- recover_missing_deck() still needs implementing
- checks required
- 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
- mtime is tracked on each key individually, which will allow
merging of config changes when syncing in the future
- added col.(get|set|remove)_config()
- in order to support existing code that was mutating returned
values (eg col.conf["something"]["another"] = 5), the returned list/dict
will be automatically wrapped so that when the value is dropped, it
will save the mutated item back to the DB if it's changed. Code that
is fetching lists/dicts from the config like so:
col.conf["foo"]["bar"] = baz
col.setMod()
will continue to work in most case, but should be gradually updated to:
conf = col.get_config("foo")
conf["bar"] = baz
col.set_config("foo", conf)
Disabled for now; when enabled it will allow faster collection
open and close in the normal case, while continuing to downgrade
when exporting or doing a full sync.
Also, when downgrading is disabled, the journal mode is no longer
changed back to delete.
- tag list stored in a separate DB table
- non-wildcard searches now do full unicode case folding
(eg tag:masse matches 'Maße')
- wildcard matches do simple unicode case folding
- some functions haven't been updated yet, so ascii folding will
continue to be used in some operations
This is safer than just dropping the backend, as .close() will
block if something else is holding the mutex. Also means we can
drop the extra I18nBackend code.
Media syncing still needs fixing.
We no longer need to worry about pysqlite implicitly beginning
transactions, and can be more explicit about beginning/ending
transactions
save() now also has a trx argument controlling whether a
transaction should be started / left open
