Youtube : FixerMed : Add a One-Click Quick Restart Button to Anki with AnkiRestart

Description

This add-on is for quickly restarting Anki.

Anki doesn't allow 2 Anki's to be started at the same time, so to restart Anki, you need to wait a little while until Anki is completely closed. This add-on watches for Anki to be completely terminated and automatically restarts it, thus ensuring a reliable restart with one click.

It can be used for add-ons that need to be restarted when settings are changed, or for developing add-ons. When you press the restart button on the menu bar, it skips the sync, waits for Anki to close, and then runs a new Anki. You can also use the shortcut keys to restart ( defaults to Ctrl+Shift+R). Incidentally, the restart sound will be played.

Options

1. Option tab

show/hide icons on menu bar
Restart After Updating Addons(unstable)
Restart Shortcut key (Default is Ctrl+Shift+R)

2. Develop tab

Restart SafeMode Enabled
Auto Restart After SafeMode
Show console(Windows,unstable)
No use executable file(Linux/Mac)

3. Sound effect tab

Sound Effect... Play sound when restarting
Error Animation... Play animation when an error occurs

4. Custom tab

Use Anki path Manually... Specify directly anki.exe, anki-console.bat, etc.
Use custom base folder(-b)... for booting Anki from portable USB.

Attention

This add-on is separated from Anki in purpose of restarting Anki, so there is a high possibility of mis-detection by antivirus software. This problem is solvable, but requires $200+ per year (Code Signing), so I'm not considering it at now.

1. [ Windows ] If your antivirus software mis-detects add-on, the ".exe" will be quarantined. It's labeled Trojan but it's a mis-detection, so no danger. In this case, this add-on cannot be used without Allow on device. (Edit : So far there are no reports of this problem, so it may not happen that often?)
2. [ Mac ] I have fixed the bug so it will probably work.
3. [ Linax ] The executable file is created in Ubuntu and PyInstaller (AnkiRestart.py), so it may not work properly except in Ubuntu. You can enable "No use executable file (Linux/Mac)" to restart without using the executable file, but it may duplicate instances of Anki.
