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.
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
To coalesce successive note edits into a single undo op we'll need to
be able to get the original Undoable type, which is awkward to do with
a trait object.
- 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
- transact() now automatically clears card queues unless an op
opts-out (and currently only AnswerCard does). This means there's no
risk of forgetting to clear the queues in an operation, or when undoing/
redoing
- CollectionOp->UndoableOp
- clear queues when redoing "answer card", instead of clearing redo
when clearing queues
- 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
- fetch sfld and csum when fetching notes, to make it cheaper
to write them back out unmodified
- make `fields` private, and access it via accessors, so we can
still catch when fields have been mutated without calling
prepare_for_update()
- fix python importing code passing a string in as the checksum
- Currently we just use 1.5x and 2x the normal preview delay; we could
change this in the future.
- Don't try to capture the current state; just use a flag to denote
exit status.
- Show (end) when exiting
Bazel sets TZ to UTC when running tests, so the tests are reproducible.
But it seems like the Rust time crate was not honoring it, and using
the configured timezone instead. "Fix" by forcing UTC when testing, as
we already special-case a test run.
Notes:
- The fuzz seed is now derived from the card id and # of reps, so
if a card is undone and done again, the same fuzz will be used.
- The intervals shown on the answer buttons now include the fuzz, instead
of hiding it from the user. This will prevent questions about due dates
being different to what was shown on the buttons, but will create
questions about due dates being different for cards with the same
interval, and some people may find it distracting for learning cards.
The new approach is easier to reason about, but time will tell
whether it's a net gain or not.
- The env var we were using to shift the clock away from rollover for
unit tests has been repurposed to also disable fuzzing, which simplifies
the tests.
- Cards in filtered decks without scheduling now have the preview delay
fuzzed.
- Sub-day learning cards are mostly fuzzed like before, but will apply
the up-to-5-minutes of fuzz regardless of the time of day.
- The answer buttons now round minute values, as the fuzz on short
intervals is distracting.
This is not the way the code is intended to be used, but making it
conform to the existing API allows us to exercise the existing unit
tests and provides partial backwards compatibility.
- Leech handling is currently broken
- Fix answered_at in wrong units, and not being used
This reverts commit 9008ba753e.
I fear this will be too disruptive - let's give AnkiDroid a bit more
time to catch up. Reverting this will mean new users are presented with
an upgrade notice on first startup, which looks a bit silly, but it's
probably the lesser of two evils.
- In corner cases, enabling the new timezone handling later can cause
reviews to shift forward or back a day, so it's best to have it on
by default.
- https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/issues/5805 has not landed
in a stable release yet, but will hopefully not be too far off by the
time 2.1.41 is released.
- Existing users will be unaffected, as the upgrade prompt in the previous
commit asks them if they use AnkiDroid.
- Users starting on AnkiDroid will be unaffected, as their collections
will still be on V1.
- The error message AnkiWeb gives when syncing an older AnkiDroid
with the new timezone enabled has been updated to direct users to the
preferences screen.
- Rework V2 upgrade so that it no longer resets cards in learning,
or empties filtered decks.
- V1 users will receive a message at the top of the deck list
encouraging them to upgrade, and they can upgrade directly from that
screen.
- The setting in the preferences screen has been removed, so users
will need to use an older Anki version if they wish to switch back to
V1.
- Prevent V2 exports with scheduling from being importable into a V1
collection - the code was previously allowing this when it shouldn't
have been.
- New collections still default to v1 at the moment.
Also add helper to get map of decks and deck configs, as there were
a few places in the codebase where that was required.
Not plugged into the Python code yet. Still a work in progress.
Other changes:
- move a bunch of From implementations out of the giant backend/mod.rs
file into separate submodules.
- reorder backend methods to match proto order
- fix some clippy lints
The previous approach worked when the user pushes their due date back,
or moves it forward a little bit, but breaks down if they reschedule
shortly after the previous answer - a card that was only just answered
will have had an effective delay of 0, causing the interval to be
reset, which is not great.
I thought about limiting interval reductions, but that means the
behaviour is inconsistent when sending a card forward and moving it
back again.
We could apply a cap to the amount of interval we'll reduce, but that
will either doing something like dividing by 2 (which breaks down when
the action is performed repeatedly), or or looking up the review log
to try and determine the previous interval we should not go below.
One other option we might want to consider in the future is using
the revlog to calculate the actual elapsed time at answer time instead
of reschedule time, falling back to existing behaviour when the revlog
doesn't match or is missing.
- SearchTerm -> SearchNode
- Operator -> Joiner; share between messages
- build_search_string() supports specifying AND/OR as a convenience
- group_searches() makes it easier to negate
While implementing the overdue search, I realised it would be nice to
be able to construct a search string with OR and NOT searches without
having to construct each part individually with build_search_string().
Changes:
- Extends SearchTerm to support a text search, which will be parsed
by the backend. This allows us to do things like wrap text in a group
or NOT node.
- Because SearchTerm->Node conversion can now fail with a parsing error,
it's switched over to TryFrom
- Switch concatenate_searches and replace_search_term to use SearchTerms,
so that they too don't require separate string building steps.
- Remove the unused normalize_search()
- Remove negate_search, as this is now an operation on a Node, and
users can wrap their search in SearchTerm(negated=...)
- Remove the match_any and negate args from build_search_string
Having done all this work, I've just realised that perhaps the original
JSON idea was more feasible than I first thought - if we wrote it out
to a string and re-parsed it, we would be able to leverage the existing
checks that occur at parsing stage.
I was a bit too enthusiastic with using borrowed values in structs
earlier on in the Rust porting. In this case any performance gains are
dwarfed by the cost of querying the DB, and using owned values here
simplifies the code, and will make it easier to parse a fragment in
the From<SearchTerm> impl.
'Current deck' has moved, and by removing 'due tomorrow', we can drop
the 'today' suffix on the rest of the items.
The keys of the existing translations have not been changed, so
existing translations will not break, but will need to be manually
updated to make them shorter.
The progress messages are only really intended to be consumed by Anki.
If consumption by add-ons was expected, we'd be better off keeping the
wrapper, as the API for oneofs in Python is quite awkward to use.
The old rescheduling dialog's two options have been split into two
separate menu items, "Forget", and "Set Due Date"
For cards that are not review cards, "Set Due Date" behaves like the
old reschedule option, changing the cards into a review card, and
and setting both the interval and due date to the provided number of
days.
When "Set Due Date" is applied to a review card, it no longer resets
the card's interval. Instead, it looks at how much the provided number
of days will change the original interval, and adjusts the interval by
that amount, so that cards that are answered earlier receive a smaller
next interval, and cards that are answered after a longer delay receive
a bonus.
For example, imagine a card was answered on day 5, and given an interval
of 10 days, so it has a due date of day 15.
- if on day 10 the due date is changed to day 12 (today+2), the card
is being scheduled 3 days earlier than it was supposed to be, so the
interval will be adjusted to 7 days.
- and if on day 10 the due date is changed to day 20, the interval will
be changed from 10 days to 15 days.
There is no separate option to reset the interval of a review card, but
it can be accomplished by forgetting the card(s), and then setting the
desired due date.
Other notes:
- Added the action to the review screen as well.
- Set the shortcut to Ctrl+Shift+D, and changed the existing Delete
Tags shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+A.
To support images on that screen, we'll first need to adjust the base url
for each platform, or rewrite the local image URLs, as otherwise they
are resolved to _anki/pages/...
- Closes#976
- Added helper to apply arbitrary colour to an icon.
- Fix#979 - low res icons in night mode.
- The icons and colours are not perfect - please feel free to send
through a PR if you can improve them.
- Convert colors dictionary into module consts, so we can
use code completion.
- Added "Edited Today" and "Due Tomorrow"
- Rename camelCase attribute to snake_case and tweak the wording
of some enum constants. We've already broken compatibility with the
major sidebar add-ons, so we may as well make these changes while we
can.
- Removed Filter button. Currently there is no exposed way to toggle
the Sidebar off - wonder if we still need it?
In protobuf "...enum values use C++ scoping rules, meaning that
enum values are siblings of their type, not children of it.
Therefore, [an enum variant] must be unique within [a message],
not just within [the enum.]"
So we must prefix enum variants with their enum's name, but can
also call them directly from the message namespace.
The protobuf crate is smart, though, and strips the prefixes.
(Simultaneously change some SearchTerm variant names.)
