- 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
Saves having to serialize the note fields and q/a templates, which
is particularly a win when rendering question/answer in the browse
screen.
Also some work towards being able to preview notes without having to
commit them to the database.
- notes with wrong field count are now recovered instead of
being deleted
- notes with missing note types are now recovered
- notes with missing cards are now recovered
- recover_missing_deck() still needs implementing
- checks required
changes to note:
- add_note() now takes a provided deck id instead of looking it up
in the notetype
- note type use counts fetched using a single table scan
- make sure note type changes are persisted
- expose optionalness of ords in templates and fields json
In the cloze deletion case, we already created a dummy card 0 when
no cloze deletions were found. This change makes normal note types
behave the same way - if no cards would be generated, a dummy card
0 is added to allow the note to be added.
This also applies when modifying note types - it is now possible
to delete card templates even if some notes only use that template,
as a dummy card 0 will be generated for notes that end up with no
cards left.
Still a prototype at this stage - we'll likely want a caching layer
for note types, and I'm not sure of the merit of having fields in
a separate table, since they're almost always required.
