Description

Update: Make sure to check out BetterTags for drag-and-drop support, easy renaming, regex replacements, and more! Please note that the current version of BetterTags only works fully on Anki 2.1.40 and below. An update for newer versions of Anki is in the works and will release later this year. Until then, make sure to check out Colorful Tags which at least brings a few features from BetterTags over to Anki 2.1.45 and up. --------------------------------- Adds a "Replace Tag" dialog to the card browser that prompts for a tag and its replacement and then replaces the tag in all selected notes. Hotkey: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T COMPATIBILITY Initial tests have shown this add-on to both work on Anki 2.0.x and Anki 2.1.x. However, as the Anki 2.1.x line of releases is still in beta, I cannot provide any kind of official support for this platform. Please do not report issues with Anki 2.1 in the review section below. Instead, please report all issues you encounter on GitHub.

README

Miscellaneous Anki Add-ons

This repository contains most of the smaller Anki add-ons I have written over the years. For more information on each add-on please take a look at the comments in the respective source file, or at its AnkiWeb description.

Generic Installation Instructions

Installation from AnkiWeb

Most add-ons in this repository have been published on AnkiWeb and may be comfortably installed via Anki's own add-on management system. To correlate each source file with its listing on AnkiWeb please refer to the add-on titles in their AnkiWeb descriptions.

Manual Installation

  1. Open Anki's add-on folder by navigating to Tools -> Add-ons -> Open add-ons folder from Anki's main screen

  2. Download a copy of the full repository zip archive

  3. Locate the add-ons you want to install in the src/ directory

  4. Copy the add-on files to Anki's add-on directory

    • in case of Anki 2.0: For each of the add-ons, copy all files its folder aside from __init__.py into the top-most level of Anki's add-on directory (e.g. for reviewer_auto_rate_hotkey you would only copy reviewer_auto_rate_hotkey.py)
    • in case of Anki 2.1: For each of the add-ons, copy the entire add-on folder into the top-most level of Anki's add-on directory (e.g. for reviewer_auto_rate_hotkey you would copy the entire reviewer_auto_rate_hotkey folder). Note: Not all add-ons in this repository have been transitioned to Anki 2.1, yet. To learn more about the compatibility status of each add-on please see here.
  5. Restart Anki to see the changes

Naming Scheme

The source file naming describes which part of Anki each add-on interacts with. As such, the names do not always correspond with their listings on AnkiWeb.

Add-on file names also have an impact on their loading order. Files with a leading special character are designed to be imported after most other add-ons have been loaded, as they might interact with them.

Credits

Some of the add-ons found in this repository were either adopted from earlier works by other authors or simply constitute re-uploads of add-ons that disappeared from AnkiWeb, with no original code repository to be found. I have tried to document the development history of each of these add-ons in their source code header, but more detailed information may also be found here.

License

Most of the add-ons in this repository are licensed under the same license as Anki, the GNU AGPL, version 3 or later. Please check the source code comments for more details on the licensing of each add-on.
