Description

This add-on is for quickly restarting Anki.<br>

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.<br> This add-on watches for Anki to be completely terminated and automatically restarts it, thus ensuring a reliable restart with one click.<br>

It can be used for add-ons that need to be restarted when settings are changed, or for developing add-ons.<br> 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.<br> You can also use the shortcut keys to restart ( defaults to Ctrl+Shift+R).<br> Incidentally, the restart sound will be played.<br>

Options

1. Option tab

  • show/hide icons on menu bar

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.
