Deck Name & Tags in Title

An Anki 2.1 add-on that shows the current deck name and/or the current card's tags in the Anki window title, so you always know where you are.

Inspired by the classic ospalh deck_name_in_title add-on and extended with tag support and a graphical configuration dialog.

Fork / origin

• This repository is not a GitHub fork (fork: false, no upstream parent on GitHub).
• It is a standalone, extended successor of Roland Sieker's classic deck_name_in_title add-on: https://github.com/ospalh/anki-addons/tree/develop/deck_name_in_title
• Original code © 2012–2018 Roland Sieker ospalh@gmail.com, GNU AGPL v3+.
• This version adds: note tags in the window title, a graphical config dialog (Settings + Logs tabs), validated/coerced config with immediate apply, docs, tests, and release packaging.

Features

• Show the deck name, the current card's tags, both (default) or **nothing extra in the window title, fully configurable from the GUI.
• Tags come from the note behind the reviewed card (tags belong to notes, not cards) — so you see at a glance which topic you are studying.
• Custom config dialog (Tools → Add-ons → Deck Name & Tags in Title → Config) — no manual JSON editing needed, with a dedicated Logs tab for live debugging (level filter, refresh, copy, clear, open the log file).
• Configurable separators, maximum tag count, sub-deck handling and program name behaviour.
• Settings apply immediately (no restart required).

From the package (`.ankiaddon)

1. Open Anki.
