Description

An add-on for Anki to automatically reload the preview in the templates screen or the card preview window when model data is modified externally.

By default these previews are only updated when making changes to card templates from within the Anki window. However, when a model template is updated externally, for example through Anki-Connect, these previews are not affected if they're open.

This add-on detects when a card template is updated, and when either the templates screen or card preview window is open, will reload the preview in these windows.

Note: you may need to restart Anki after installing the add-on for it to work.

This add-on was developed alongside the Anki Editor extension for Visual Studio Code, but should work with any other application that updates model templates through Anki-Connect.
