README
My Images
My Images is a searchable media browser and image management tool for Anki. It allows you to quickly find, preview, and insert images from your existing media collection directly into the card editor.
Use Case
I often reuse good images I already have in the media folder. They're only searchable if I rename them, so best practices is to rename your screenshots to something other than the default. I use this excellent addon all the time: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1560623518. If you don't want to use this, I yoinked the rename code and included it in this addon, because it's useless without images with useful names.
I treat image names in anki like tags, I add every key word I can think of to the filename.
Features
- Searchable Media Browser: Search your entire Anki media library by filename while editing a card.
- Visual Previews: Hover over any search result to see a large preview of the image.
- One-Click Insertion: Click a thumbnail to instantly insert that image into your current field.
- Smart Renaming: Right-click any image in the editor (or the browser) to rename it. The add-on automatically updates every single note in your collection that uses that image so your links never break.
