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
- use dataclasses for the review/checkpoint undo cases, instead of the
nasty ad-hoc list structure
- expose backend review undo to Python, and hook it into GUI
- redo is not currently exposed on the GUI, and the backend can only
cope with reviews done by the new scheduler at the moment
- the initial undo prototype code was bumping mtime/usn on undo, but
that was not ideal, as it was breaking the queue handling which expected
the mtime to match. The original rationale for bumping mtime/usn was
to avoid problems with syncing, but various operations like removing
a revlog can't be synced anyway - so we just need to ensure we clear the
undo queue prior to syncing
- anki._backend stores the protobuf files and rsbackend.py code
- pylib modules import protobuf messages directly from the
_pb2 files, and explicitly export any will be returned or consumed
by public pylib functions, so that calling code can import from pylib
- the "rsbackend" no longer imports and re-exports protobuf messages
- pylib can just consume them directly.
- move errors to errors.py
Still todo:
- rsbridge
- finishing the work on rsbackend, and check what we need to add
back to the original file location to avoid breaking add-ons
- 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.
