Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.
Creates symbolic links or Windows junctions with readable add-on names inside the Anki2 folder, automatically updating or deleting them as add-ons change, to help developers identify numeric add-on folders.
Automatically inserts whitespace between CJK characters and half-width letters, digits, and symbols for better readability, without modifying database data.
Exports Anki notes differentially to Markdown in Obsidian, mirroring deck folders, syncing images/video/audio, generating index files, and linking cards back to Anki.
Adds a Tools menu option that exports all note types, templates, deck names and option groups, plus underscore-prefixed media files, without notes, for debugging or sharing.
Integrates the memory palace technique into Anki, letting users mark difficult cards, build palaces, assign cards by drag-and-drop, and optionally generate AI symbols and images.
Generates interactive color-coded kanji grids from your decks, sortable by JLPT, Jouyou, Kanken, frequency, score, Unicode, or order, with Jisho links and PNG/HTML export.
The add-ons folder contains one folder by add-on. Each folder's name is a string of digit. This is quite horrible for a human who want to go read or edit the code of an add-on.
Thus, this add-on create another folder, containing symlinks with the name of the add-on to the add-on folder.
This does not work on windows. Because this add-ons create symbolic links, and windows can't create them without admin privilege.
Install this add-on and start anki. That's all. The symlinks are created while anki start. If you install a new add-on, it's symlink won't be created untill you restart anki.
Note also that symlinks are not deleted. Thus a symlink may break if you delete an add-on. (TODO: change that ?)
By default the new folder is in the same folder than the original addons directory. You can change this directory in newFolder.
The name of the new folder, by default, is "namedAddons", it can also be changed.
