the shortcut keys are handled by webengine on platforms other than
osx, so rather than messing with an event filter we catch the cut and
copy events in js and send a signal back
- 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.
- 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
when modal, the program hangs on OS X when moving back and forth
between the main window and the profile manager, and I haven't been able
to find a better workaround
.update() ignores user input when processing events, so this will
hopefully not break things
- 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
