Description

Deadline2

An update of the Anki Deadline addon with GUI configuration.

This addon is used to automate the process of adjusting the new cards per day setting for an options group. The setting is calculated by finding (number of new cards left/number of days until deadline). Both the options group and new cards per day setting is automatically managed by the addon.

After the initial installation, you may need to restart anki

To use:

  1. Go to the main deck browser screen
  2. Click the Tools Menu -> Deadline -> Configure Deadlines
  3. Click the Add button on the right
  4. Select a deck, then select a deadline when you want to have all new cards for the deck seen by. Note: Only decks that have cards in them will be shown.
  5. Click OK Note:Repeat 3-5 for each deck you would like to add a deadline to
  6. Click Process Deadlines

For every deck you have assigned a deadline to, a popup will appear, detailing how many cards you will see per day.

Notes: To edit a deadline, simply add another date for a deck with an existing deadline. You can also delete the existing deadline, then add a new one. To process deadlines, you can also: Click the Tools Menu -> Deadline -> Process Deadlines When you update the addon, you may sometimes have to manually re-add your deadlines. This is under scrutiny and is planned to be fixed in the near future.

Work was originally started by https://gist.github.com/eshapard/12c14947d31dfcb8f0915761fb649c32 I had originally started off by just making this into an Anki 2.1 compatible addon (move deadline.py into init.py and you're off to the races)

Next, folks asked if I could make it a little bit easier to use by creating a configuration menu. Inspiration was taken from https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1102281552 and https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1374772155 , along with bits of their code.

Work In Progress

  1. Clean up old code; remove unnecessary bits
  2. clean up deck names on the add dialog. All items with 3 hierarchal levels should be pared down to 2 levels, to help reduce the width of the dropdown.
  3. Better ensure that when you update the addon, no deadlines are "lost"
  4. Whenever you delete a deadline, the original config should be re-applied to the deck

Contributing

Feel free to contribute! To offer you some guidance, below is my general development workflow.

Windows

To test any code changes live, create a symlink to the anki addons location. mklink /D "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\Deadline2" "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\GitHub\Deadline2" to regenerate any UI features after updating in QT Creator, use something like pyuic5 CalForm\form.ui -o CalForm.py from the root of the repo folder. To start anki in debug mode, C:\Program Files\Anki\anki-console.bat is your friend
