* Collection needs to be closed prior to backup even when not downgrading
* Backups -> BackupLimits
* Some improvements to backup_task
- backup_inner now returns the error instead of logging it, so that
the frontend can discover the issue when they await a backup (or create
another one)
- start_backup() was acquiring backup_task twice, and if another thread
started a backup between the two locks, the task could have been accidentally
overwritten without awaiting it
* Backups no longer require a collection close
- Instead of closing the collection, we ensure there is no active
transaction, and flush the WAL to disk. This means the undo history
is no longer lost on backup, which will be particularly useful if we
add a periodic backup in the future.
- Because a close is no longer required, backups are now achieved with
a separate command, instead of being included in CloseCollection().
- Full sync no longer requires an extra close+reopen step, and we now
wait for the backup to complete before proceeding.
- Create a backup before 'check db'
* Add File>Create Backup

* Defer checkpoint until we know we need it
When running periodic backups on a timer, we don't want to be fsync()ing
unnecessarily.
* Skip backup if modification time has not changed
We don't want the user leaving Anki open overnight, and coming back
to lots of identical backups.
* Periodic backups
Creates an automatic backup every 30 minutes if the collection has been
modified.
If there's a legacy checkpoint active, tries again 5 minutes later.
* Switch to a user-configurable backup duration
CreateBackup() now uses a simple force argument to determine whether
the user's limits should be respected or not, and only potentially
destructive ops (full download, check DB) override the user's configured
limit.
I considered having a separate limit for collection close and automatic
backups (eg keeping the previous 5 minute limit for collection close),
but that had two downsides:
- When the user closes their collection at the end of the day, they'd
get a recent backup. When they open the collection the next day, it
would get backed up again within 5 minutes, even though not much had
changed.
- Multiple limits are harder to communicate to users in the UI
Some remaining decisions I wasn't 100% sure about:
- If force is true but the collection has not been modified, the backup
will be skipped. If the user manually deleted their backups without
closing Anki, they wouldn't get a new one if the mtime hadn't changed.
- Force takes preference over the configured backup interval - should
we be ignored the user here, or take no backups at all?
Did a sneaky edit of the existing ftl string, as it hasn't been live
long.
* Move maybe_backup() into Collection
* Use a single method for manual and periodic backups
When manually creating a backup via the File menu, we no longer make
the user wait until the backup completes. As we continue waiting for
the backup in the background, if any errors occur, the user will get
notified about it fairly quickly.
* Show message to user if backup was skipped due to no changes
+ Don't incorrectly assert a backup will be created on force
* Add "automatic" to description
* Ensure we backup prior to importing colpkg if collection open
The backup doesn't happen when invoked from 'open backup' in the profile
screen, which matches Anki's previous behaviour. The user could
potentially clobber up to 30 minutes of their work if they exited to
the profile screen and restored a backup, but the alternative is we
create backups every time a backup is restored, which may happen a number
of times if the user is trying various ones. Or we could go back to a
separate throttle amount for this case, at the cost of more complexity.
* Remove the 0 special case on backup interval; minimum of 5 minutes
https://github.com/ankitects/anki/pull/1728#discussion_r830876833
Ideally this would have been in beta 6 :-) No add-ons appear to be
using customstudy.py/taglimit.py though, so it should hopefully not be
disruptive.
In the earlier custom study changes, we didn't get around to addressing
issue #1136. Now instead of trying to determine the maximum increase
to allow (which doesn't work correctly with nested decks), we just
present the total available to the user again, and let them decide. There's
plenty of room for improvement here still, but further work here might
be better done once we look into decoupling deck limits from deck presets.
Tags and available cards are fetched prior to showing the dialog now,
and will show a progress dialog if things take a while.
Tags are stored in an aux var now, so they don't inflate the deck
object size.
* Add forget prompt with options
- Restore original position
- Reset reps and lapses
* Restore position when resetting for export
* Add config context to avoid passing keys
* Add routine to fetch defaults; use method-specific enum (dae)

* Implement backup thinning
* Write backup meta
* Use new file ending anki21b
* Asynchronously backup on collection close in Rust
* Revert "Add zstd dep"
This reverts commit 3fcb2141d2.
* Add zstd again
* Take backup col path from col struct
* Fix formatting
* Implement backup restoring on backend
* Normalize restored media file names
* Refactor `extract_legacy_data()`
A bit cumbersome due to borrowing rules.
* Refactor
* Make thinning calendar-based and gradual
* Consider last kept backups of previous stages
* Import full apkgs and colpkgs with backend
* Expose new backup settings
* Test `BackupThinner` and make it deterministic
* Mark backup_path when closing optional
* Delete leaky timer
* Add progress updates for restoring media
* Write restored collection to tempfile first
* Do collection compression in the background thread
This has us currently storing an uncompressed and compressed copy of
the collection in memory (not ideal), but means the collection can be
closed without waiting for compression to complete. On a large collection,
this takes a close and reopen from about 0.55s to about 0.07s. The old
backup code for comparison: about 0.35s for compression off, about
8.5s for zip compression.
* Use multithreading in zstd compression
On my system, this reduces the compression time of a large collection
from about 0.55s to 0.08s.
* Stream compressed collection data into zip file
* Tweak backup explanation
+ Fix incorrect tab order for ignore accents option
* Decouple restoring backup and full import
In the first case, no profile is opened, unless the new collection
succeeds to load.
In the second case, either the old collection is reloaded or the new one
is loaded.
* Fix number gap in Progress message
* Don't revert backup when media fails but report it
* Tweak error flow
* Remove native BackupLimits enum
* Fix type annotation
* Add thinning test for whole year
* Satisfy linter
* Await async backup to finish
* Move restart disclaimer out of backup tab
Should be visible regardless of the current tab.
* Write restored collection in chunks
* Refactor
* Write media in chunks and refactor
* Log error if removing file fails
* join_backup_task -> await_backup_completion
* Refactor backup.rs
* Refactor backup meta and collection extraction
* Fix wrong error being returned
* Call sync_all() on new collection
* Add ImportError
* Store logger in Backend, instead of creating one on demand
init_backend() accepts a Logger rather than a log file, to allow other
callers to customize the logger if they wish.
In the future we may want to explore using the tracing crate as an
alternative; it's a bit more ergonomic, as a logger doesn't need to be
passed around, and it plays more nicely with async code.
* Sync file contents prior to rename; sync folder after rename.
* Limit backup creation to once per 30 min
* Use zstd::stream::copy_decode
* Make importing abortable
* Don't revert if backup media is aborted
* Set throttle implicitly
* Change force flag to minimum_backup_interval
* Don't attempt to open folders on Windows
* Join last backup thread before starting new one
Also refactor.
* Disable auto sync and backup when restoring again
* Force backup on full download
* Include the reason why a media file import failed, and the file path
- Introduce a FileIoError that contains a string representation of
the underlying I/O error, and an associated path. There are a few
places in the code where we're currently manually including the filename
in a custom error message, and this is a step towards a more consistent
approach (but we may be better served with a more general approach in
the future similar to Anyhow's .context())
- Move the error message into importing.ftl, as it's a bit neater
when error messages live in the same file as the rest of the messages
associated with some functionality.
* Fix importing of media files
* Minor wording tweaks
* Save an allocation
I18n strings with replacements are already strings, so we can skip the
extra allocation. Not that it matters here at all.
* Terminate import if file missing from archive
If a third-party tool is creating invalid archives, the user should know
about it. This should be rare, so I did not attempt to make it
translatable.
* Skip multithreaded compression on small collections

Instead of calling a method inside the transaction body, routines
can now pass Op::SkipUndo if they wish the changes to be discarded
at the end of the transaction. The advantage of doing it this way is
that the list of changes can still be returned, allowing the sync
indicator to update immediately.
Closes#1252
Allows add-on authors to define their own label for a group of undoable
operations. For example:
def mark_and_bury(
*,
parent: QWidget,
card_id: CardId,
) -> CollectionOp[OpChanges]:
def op(col: Collection) -> OpChanges:
target = col.add_custom_undo_entry("Mark and Bury")
col.sched.bury_cards([card_id])
card = col.get_card(card_id)
col.tags.bulk_add(note_ids=[card.nid], tags="marked")
return col.merge_undo_entries(target)
return CollectionOp(parent, op)
The .add_custom_undo_entry() is for adding your own custom actions.
When extending a standard Anki action, instead store `target =
col.undo_status().last_step` after executing the standard operation.
This started out as a bigger refactor that required a separate
.commit_undoable() call to be run after each operation, instead of
having each operation return changes directly. But that proved to be
somewhat cumbersome in unit tests, and ran the risk of unexpected
behaviour if the caller invoked an operation without remembering to
finalize it.
Instead, fetch the config order on the frontend and pass a builtin
variant into the backend.
That makes the following unnecessary:
* Resolving the config sort in search/mod.rs
* Deserializing the Column enum
* Config accessors for the sort columns
- make sure we set flag in changes when config var changed
- move current deck get/set into backend
- set_config() now returns a bool indicating whether a change was
made, so other operations can be gated off it
- active decks generation is deferred until sched.reset()
So, this is fun. Apparently "DeckId" is considered preferable to the
"DeckID" were were using until now, and the latest clippy will start
warning about it. We could of course disable the warning, but probably
better to bite the bullet and switch to the naming that's generally
considered best.
- Introduced a new transact() method that wraps the return value
in a separate struct that describes the changes that were made.
- Changes are now gathered from the undo log, so we don't need to
guess at what was changed - eg if update_note() is called with identical
note contents, no changes are returned. Card changes will only be set
if cards were actually generated by the update_note() call, and tag
will only be set if a new tag was added.
- mw.perform_op() has been updated to expect the op to return the changes,
or a structure with the changes in it, and it will use them to fire the
change hook, instead of fetching the changes from undo_status(), so there
is no risk of race conditions.
- the various calls to mw.perform_op() have been split into separate
files like card_ops.py. Aside from making the code cleaner, this works
around a rather annoying issue with mypy. Because we run it with
no_strict_optional, mypy is happy to accept an operation that returns None,
despite the type signature saying it requires changes to be returned.
Turning no_strict_optional on for the whole codebase is not practical
at the moment, but we can enable it for individual files.
Still todo:
- The cursor keeps moving back to the start of a field when typing -
we need to ignore the refresh hook when we are the initiator.
- The busy cursor icon should probably be delayed a few hundreds ms.
- Still need to think about a nicer way of handling saveNow()
- op_made_changes(), op_affects_study_queue() might be better embedded
as properties in the object instead
- moved 'default to current deck when adding' into prefs
- move some profile options into the collection config, so they're
undoable and will sync. There is (currently) no automatic migration
from the old profile settings, meaning users will need to set the
options again if they've customized them.
- tidy up preferences.py
- drop the deleteMedia option that was not exposed in the UI
The existing code was really difficult to reason about:
- The default notetype depended on the selected deck, and vice versa,
and this logic was buried in the deck and notetype choosing screens,
and models.py.
- Changes to the notetype were not passed back directly, but were fired
via a hook, which changed any screen in the app that had a notetype
selector.
It also wasn't great for performance, as the most recent deck and tags
were embedded in the notetype, which can be expensive to save and sync
for large notetypes.
To address these points:
- The current deck for a notetype, and notetype for a deck, are now
stored in separate config variables, instead of directly in the deck
or notetype. These are cheap to read and write, and we'll be able to
sync them individually in the future once config syncing is updated in
the future. I seem to recall some users not wanting the tag saving
behaviour, so I've dropped that for now, but if people end up missing
it, it would be simple to add as an extra auxiliary config variable.
- The logic for getting the starting deck and notetype has been moved
into the backend. It should be the same as the older Python code, with
one exception: when "change deck depending on notetype" is enabled in
the preferences, it will start with the current notetype ("curModel"),
instead of first trying to get a deck-specific notetype.
- ModelChooser has been duplicated into notetypechooser.py, and it
has been updated to solely be concerned with keeping track of a selected
notetype - it no longer alters global state.
