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
- 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
- changes are now committed in bulk when closing the dialog,
and can be canceled
- it's not necessary to save the note to the database to preview it
- duplicate fields are now shown as duplicates in the top list
- redraw preview more quickly
- use + instead of _ when deduplicating names, as the latter is a
glob character
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.
It often arrives that I want to know when a card is going to be
flushed and in this case change it.
This could be the case if I want to change the scheduler without
implementing a whole scheduler. It simply reads the card history and
change interval and due date.
It's also the case for the "'trigger -> action' rules", which apply
some coded actions when some event occurs. E.g. suspend/unsuspend a
sibling when card become mature/is forgotten.
- _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.
We can now show replay buttons for the audio contained in {{FrontSide}}
without having to play it again when the answer is shown.
The template code now always defers FrontSide rendering, as it wasn't
a big saving, and meant the logic had to be implemented twice.
This allows us to add a docstring to .append() so users can see
the names of the arguments that are being passed, and means we
don't have to remember to prepend run_ when calling a hook.
Still todo:
- Add separate module for GUI hooks
- Update the remaining runHook/runFilter() calls
- Document the changes, including defensive registration
