- instead of maintaining a list of model versions on the model which could get
lost in a sync, we simply increment mid by one until we find a compatible
schema or empty slot
- same approach for guids, so that reimports of divergent material won't cause
extra duplicates
- base the 2.0 model id on the 1.2 one so we don't get new models each time we
reimport the file
- when determining if we can reuse an existing note, it must have the same
model id, and the model must have the same schema
- make sure we check templates when determining schema
- if schema has diverged, note needs new guid
While writing the documentation I realized that the default templates were
somewhat overwhelming. So I've moved the default settings into the card css,
and moved the css into a separate attribute which gets combined with the
question and answer templates.
Also:
- Detect cloze references directly rather than the conditional wrapper
- Add the cloze css to the template
New/rev card mixing, collapse time and the timeboxing limit are now a
collection property. I appreciate how it could be useful to have those
settings per top-level deck in some cases, but having some settings inherited
from the top level deck makes for a confusing UI.
- don't send server graves graves back on the next sync
- make sure we update usns of models/tags/decks as well on upload
- don't die when updating decks after current deck deleted
- report counts when sanity check fails
Instead of having required and unique flags for every field, enforce both
requirements on the first field, and neither on the rest. This mirrors the
subject/body format people are used to in note-taking apps. The subject
defines the object being learnt, and the remaining fields represent properties
of that object.
In the past, duplicate checking served two purposes: it quickly notified the
user that they're entering the same fact twice, and it notified the user if
they'd accidentally mistyped a secondary field. The former behaviour is
important for avoiding wasted effort, and so it should be done in real time.
The latter behaviour is not essential however - a typo is not wasted effort,
and it could be fixed in a periodic 'find duplicates' function. Given that
some users ended up with sluggish decks due to the overhead a large number of
facts * a large number of unique fields caused, this seems like a change for
the better.
This also means Anki will let you add notes as long as as the first field has
been filled out. Again, this is not a big deal: Anki is still checking to make
sure one or more cards will be generated, and the user can easily add any
missing fields later.
As a bonus, this change simplifies field configuration somewhat. As the card
layout and field dialogs are a popular point of confusion, the more they can
be simplified, the better.
