Youtube : FixerMed : Add a One-Click Quick Restart Button to Anki with AnkiRestart

Description

This add-on is for quickly restarting Anki. It can be used for add-ons that need to be restarted when settings are changed (e.g. Anki Redesign, Advanced Review Bottom Bar), or for developing add-ons.

Anki doesn't allow 2 Anki's to be started at the same time, so to restart Anki, you need to wait a little while until Anki is completely closed. This add-on watches for Anki to be completely terminated and automatically restarts it, thus ensuring a reliable restart with one click.

When you press the restart button on the menu bar, it skips the sync, waits for Anki to close, and then runs a new Anki.
You can also use the shortcut keys to restart (defaults to Ctrl+Shift+R).

Please refer to the Wiki for detailed usage and options.
